Examination of Bronchial Reactivity in Workers Exposed to Microparticles PM2.5 and PM10 during Coal Surface Mining in the Bellaqevc Power Plants of Kosovo

Abstract: The impact of air pollution with microparticles (PM2.5 and PM10) on the respiratory systems of workers engaged in thesurface mining of coal at the Bellaqevc power plants of Kosovo  is studied  in this paper. The parameters of lung functionare defined via body plethysmography. The resistance of the airways (Raw) was recorded, intrathoracic gas volume (ITGV) was measured, and the specific resistanceof the airways (SRaw) and specific conductance (SGaw) were calculated. The research was performed withintwo groups:… Show more
