“…So, on application of Pearson ric measurements of the exposed workwas found between time intensity factor and FEV1/FVC%, PEF% and FEF25-75% (p <0.05) (Table 4). Similar results were obtained by Mbengue et al (2018) and Demissie (2019) who revealed a negative correlation between spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEF 25-75 %, and PEFR) and duration of work among woodworkers. Also, previous study of Omole et al (2018) reported that sawmill workers exposed to wood dust in Nigeria more than 10 years had a signegative correlation between FEV1 and exposure time to wood dust.…”

2020, on 100 woodworkers ernorate. Similar numbers of subjects were chosen randomly from workers' relatives who were never exposed to similar hazards. All participants were interviewed using a predesigned questionnaire. Physical examination and spirometric measurements were performed for them. Environmental study of the workplace was done. Results: The mean concentration of respirable wood dust was 3.61±2.00 mg/m 3 , which is higher cantly higher prevalence of respiratory manifestations e.g. rhinitis, cough, expectoration, wheezes, shortness of breathing, chest pain and asthma (59%, 64%, 51%, 34%, 70%, 4% and 24%; respectively) as well as decreased spirometric measurements compared to the controls. The higher prevalence of respiratory manifestations as well as decreased spirometric measurements were positively correlated with time intensity factor. Conclusion and recommendations: Exposure to wood dust in a concentration more than permissible level has been adversely affecting the respiratory system and causing decrease in spirometric measurements. Regular use of good quality personal
