Abstract
Ispitivana je skupina radnica eksponiranih aerosolima pamuka, konoplje, lana, začina, soje, čajeva, kave te krzna. Aerosoli konoplje i lana uzrokovali su najveću prevalenciju kroničnih respiratornih simptoma i bolesti kao i najveće promjene ventilacijske funkcije pluća. U cilju prevencije potrebna je kontrola aerozagađenja kao i provođenje preventivnih medicinskih pregleda.A group of female workers occupationally exposed to cotton, hemp, flax, spices, soy, tea, coffee and furs was included in the study. The highest prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms and diseases and greatest changes in ventilatory capacity were due to exposure to hemp and flax aerosols. The development of respiratory impairment can be impeded by control of the working environment and preventive medical examinations
