Abstract
Cement is one of the most important building materials in the world Cement mill workers are exposed to dust during various manufacturing and production processes, such as quarrying and handling of raw materials, during grinding the clinker, blending, packing and shipping of the finished products. The aerodynamic diameter of cement particles range from 0.05 to 5.0 μm. These particles are respirable in size, hence Portland cement is important as a potential cause of occupational lung disease .The present study concentrated on pulmonary function test parameters of worker working in cement factories of south India. present study conducted in cement factory workers in south India cement factories who exposed to cement dust and normal individuals who are not exposed to cement dust. The pulmonary function test parameters were performed in individuals. In present study we measured the pulmonary function test parameters in 200 workers occupationally exposed to cement dust and 200 matched unexposed controls. The FCV, FEV1, FEV 25-75%, FEV1/FVC and PEF are shown significance different between exposed and non-exposed individuals to cement dust. The present results confirmed that pulmonary function values changed significantly between exposed and non-exposed individuals to cement dust.
