Pulmonary function testing in pulmonary prevention
Occup Med.
1991 Jan-Mar.
Abstract
Pulmonary function testing plays an important role in the prevention of environmental lung disease when used in surveillance programs, research programs, and clinical practice. This paper focuses upon the interpretation of lung function data acquired during occupational disease surveillance and examines several potential pitfalls in spirometry surveillance programs.
