Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic chromate exposure on the pulmonary ventilation function of workers in a chromate manufacturing factory in Henan Province, comparing them to a control group without exposure.
- Results from 2010 and 2011 showed significant decreases in vital lung function measurements (like FVC and FEV1) among the chromate-exposed workers compared to the control group, indicating negative effects on respiratory health.
- Despite the observed declines, the classification of pulmonary dysfunction among both groups remained similar, primarily categorized as "limit type," suggesting that the extent of dysfunction didn't change significantly over the exposure period.
The Marek's Disease is an acute infectious disease in poultry production. The selecting experiment through blood-group gene inspection of adult parents and attack-test by using of Marek's Disease virus (MDV) for offspring chicks was carried out. The results showed as follows: (1) The rates of positive reaction by No.
