Dr. Sanampudi Lakshmi, Dr. Kunipuri Sarala

Abstract :

 Environmental Health Hazards include air pollution, noise pollution etc. The explosive growth of population in the developing countries and the rapid industrialization of the developed and developing countries are the great causes of atmospheric pollution. Duration of exposure, aging, smoking together complicate pulmonary functions. Prolonged exposure to different air pollutants even at low concentrations may cause a variety of adverse effects on health. Study of Pulmonary function tests in Traffic police who are exposed to dusty and smoky environment and in control group who are not routinely exposed to dusty and smoky environment. a) To study the Respiratory function tests among two study groups. i) General population who are not routinely exposed to air pollution. ii) Traffic police. b) To assess the effects of pollutants on respiratory functions in traffic police. c) To compare the study results of pulmonary functions among control group and traffic police. The study revealed that the lung parameter like FVC, FEV1, FEV1 / FVC ratio, FEF25–75 and PEFR were gradually declining more with increase in period of exposure in traffic police
