ABSTRACT
Objective To explore influence and variation of smoking and occupational exposure to air pollution on lung function.Methods Ninety eight sanitation staffs from Panyu District were divided into smoking and non-smoking sanitation groups; and all subject accepted the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT) scales,questionnaires,lung function test,and data statistical analysis.Healthy people accepted health examination from Guangzhou Panyu medical health center were used as the control group.Results (1) Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1%),forced expiratory volume in the first second/ forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC),maximal expiratory flow in 50% vital capacity (FEF50%),maximal expiratory flow in 75% vital capacity (FEF75%),maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) of non-smoking sanitation group was significantly lower than non-smoking healthy group (P < 0.01).(2) Abnormal rates of FEF50%,FEF75%,and MMEF of non-smoking sanitation group were significantly higher than non-smoking healthy group (P < 0.01).(3) Abnormal rates of FEF50%,and FEF75% of sanitation group were significantly higher than healthy group with or without smoking.(4) Abnormal rates of FEV1% and FEV1/FVC did not have significant difference between non-smoking sanitation group and non-smoking healthy group,but had significant difference between non-smoking and smoking healthy groups.It means smoking and occupational exposure had different impacts on pulmonary function.(5)Moderate score of nonsmoking sanitation group and smoking healthy group were significantly higher than non-smoking healthy group by P =0.049 and P =0.001,respectively.Conclusions Occupational exposure to air pollution and smoking can lead to small airway damage,which was not as obvious as pulmonary function changes.It is necessary to regularly monitor lung function for sanitation staffs who risk occupational exposure to air pollution.Increasing physical exercise would benefit to improve sport lung endurance of the people in our country.
