EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON JAPANESE CIVILIAN POPULATION
Abstract
The pulmonary function studies included: (a) the assessment of the spirometry and the mechanics of breathing repeatedly done on the limited population. (b) The baseline studies on the routine pulmonary function tests. (c) Some fundamental observations of the airway resistance, the AaD and of CO pulmonary diffusing capacity on the cases of normal healthy as well as of chronic pulmonary diseases. (d) Effects of bronchodilator and of cigarette smoking on the ventilatory capacity and on the alveolar gas exchange. The year- round clinical observations were performed on the population with regard to the incidence of bronchitics and the correlation of this incidence with the cigarette smoking habit.
