Sweepers are at high risk of exposure to complex mixture of pollutants – soil dust, bio aerosols which make them susceptible to occupational lung diseases. We studied respiratory symptoms and lung function in 60 sweepers and 60 healthy males. Anthropometric measurements were recorded . Lung function test were performed on medspiror. 20% sweepers had breathlessness, 14% cough, 10.7% cough with sputum. There was statistically significant decrease in forced vital capacity, maximum ventilatory volume, peak expiratory flow rate, forced expiratory volume in first second in sweepers.
