In a study of the chronic effects of fire fighting on lung function, 1,768 employees from the Boston Fire Department were examined in 1970. From this cohort, 109 firefighters who retired in the period 1970 to 1975 have been restudied with questionnaire and ventilatory function tests. The observed vulues for pulmonary function when expressed as a per cent of predicted are consistently slightly below 100 per cent. The expected effect of cigarett smoking on lung function was demonstrated. The results suggest thetirement) are important in reducing the effect of fire fighting on subjects who may be adversely affected by the inhalation of combustion products.
在一项关于灭火工作对肺功能慢性影响的研究中，1970年对波士顿消防部门的1768名员工进行了检查。从这个队列中，对1970年至1975年期间退休的109名消防员进行了重新研究，采用问卷调查和通气功能测试。当将肺功能的观察值表示为预测值的百分比时，始终略低于100%。证明了吸烟对肺功能的预期影响。结果表明，退休在减轻灭火工作对可能因吸入燃烧产物而受到不利影响的受试者的影响方面很重要。 （注：原文中“thetirement”应改为“retirement”）
