Article Synopsis
- Phosgene is a toxic gas that irritates the airways and eyes, and the study aims to see how chronic low-dose exposure affects the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), a simple test for lung function.
- The research involved 287 workers in phosgene production, assessing their health and work history, followed by clinical exams and PEFR measurements.
- Findings revealed that older workers and those with longer job durations or direct phosgene exposure had significantly lower PEFR, indicating that even low doses of phosgene can impair lung function.
