Workers in a modern electronics factory were surveyed by questionnaire and lung function testing to see if there was evidence of widespread work-related respiratory symptoms. Of the responding workers exposed to solder flux fumes on the shop floor, 22% had work-related breathlessness or wheeze or both. Exposed workers had a lower FEV1 and FVC than unexposed workers. Work-related rhinitis was also present in 22% of exposed workers. The most likely cause for these results is sensitivity to colophony fumes, released from solder flux during soldering. Levels of solder flux fume were below the threshold limit value in this factory during the survey.
通过问卷调查和肺功能测试对一家现代电子工厂的工人进行了调查，以查看是否有证据表明存在广泛的与工作相关的呼吸道症状。在车间接触助焊剂烟雾的应答工人中，22% 有与工作相关的呼吸急促或喘息或两者皆有。接触工人的第一秒用力呼气容积（FEV1）和用力肺活量（FVC）低于未接触工人。22% 的接触工人还患有与工作相关的鼻炎。这些结果最可能的原因是对焊接过程中助焊剂释放的松香烟雾敏感。在调查期间，该工厂的助焊剂烟雾水平低于阈限值。
