Abstract:
Since 1974 in a follow-up study 54 still exposed and 29 formerly exposed workers of a carbon black producing factory (Oranienburg, FRG) were asked anamnestically and investigated clinically including lung function tests and E.C.G. Evaluating our results we did not hardly find out any important pathological findings. Considering different periods of exposition there was no fundamental yearly decrease of the ventilation values of still exposed and formerly exposed workers in comparison to the normal population. An additional pulmonary care is not to be required beside the demanded occupational medical check-up.

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
