174-179. Seventy fibreglass workers with a mean of 19·85 years in the industry are compared with a control group having no exposure to glass fibre but otherwise matched for age, sex, height, and weight, and residing in the same geographical area. Comparison was made by radiography, the administration of the modified Medical Research Council Short Questionnaire on Respiratory Symptoms (1960), amplified to include a detailed occupational history, and measurement of peak expiratory flow, FEV, and FVC. Statistical analysis showed the control group to be at a slight disadvantage compared to the subject group in respect of complaints of phlegm and FVC. No evidence of any respiratory hazard due to glass fibre is shown.
174 - 179。将70名平均从事该行业19.85年的玻璃纤维工人与一个对照组进行比较，该对照组未接触玻璃纤维，但在年龄、性别、身高和体重方面进行了匹配，且居住在同一地理区域。通过X线摄影、发放经修改的医学研究委员会呼吸症状简短问卷（1960年）（该问卷进行了扩充以纳入详细的职业史）以及测量呼气峰值流速、第一秒用力呼气容积（FEV）和用力肺活量（FVC）来进行比较。统计分析表明，对照组在咳痰主诉和用力肺活量方面相较于研究组略有劣势。未显示出任何因玻璃纤维导致的呼吸危害证据。
