Blood carboxyhaemoglobin (HbCO%) levels were measured in 61 workers in 35 garages in Leicester and Leicestershire. Of 26 workers in large garages in winter, 44% of the non-smokers and 20% of the smokers had increased CO absorption, the highest HbCO% being 26.0 in a non-smoker. Of 35 workers in 24 smaller, randomly chosen garages visited throughout the year (two per month) the corresponding figures were 43% and 14%, the highest HbCO% being 21.0. The possible relevance of these findings to coronary heart disease in garage workers is discussed.
对莱斯特和莱斯特郡35个汽车修理库的61名工人进行了血液碳氧血红蛋白(HbCO%)水平检测。在冬季大型汽车修理库的26名工人中,44%的非吸烟者和20%的吸烟者有一氧化碳吸收增加的情况,一名非吸烟者的最高HbCO%为26.0。在全年随机走访的24个较小的汽车修理库(每月两个)中的35名工人中,相应数字分别为43%和14%,最高HbCO%为21.0。文中讨论了这些发现与汽车修理库工人冠心病之间可能存在的关联。
