Chronic Bronchitis Caused by Flax Dust
Abstract
Materials are introduced which describe the frequency of chronic bronchitis in workers as a function of time served in industry and sensitization to flax dust by healthy persons and persons suffering from chronic bronchitis. Several factors are significant in the development of chronic bronchitis: The effect of industrial dust over a period of many years; sensitization of the organism; and age. Considering the fact that chronic bronchitis is far from harmless and results in a considerable decline in the functional external respirators indicators in persons suffering from it, these persons do deserve attention. Those suffering chronic bronchitis who do not have a respiratory insufficiency require modern inhalation therapy and health-resort treatment, while those with a definite respiratory insufficiency require appropriate job placements.
