A study on spirometry in petrol pump workers of Ahmedabad, India

Lung reactions to exposure to dust, gases, and fumes at work places have been studied in different populations. The emission level of pollutants that emit particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in size (PM 10) has been found very high in Ahmedabad.

Both of these factors can affect the respiratory health of petrol pump workers.
