Spirometry

         Spirometry is a tool used to determine lung capacity, to determine the difficulty level of the lung that may be experienced by the workforce, and therefore in a company that has high levels of air pollution must have this tool. With the existence of these tools in the enterprise and labor may find abnormalities that are not experiencing respiratory or breathing abnormalities of its workforce. Because today's industries are growing rapidly, with rapid industrial growth resulted in the increasing use of chemicals, machinery, both in the type and number. Thus the workforce is very easily affected by occupational diseases. One was a lung disease caused by work (pneumoconiosis).
          Pneumoconiosis is a disease caused by the accumulation of dust in the lungs. The disease is caused by chemical factors such as dust, gas, steam, and so on. Dust causing pneumoconiosis was 1-3 micron-sized dust and will be placed directly on the surface of the lung alveolis. Dust a larger size will persist in the upper respiratory tract, and the smaller will be expelled through the respiratory system. Symptoms of pneumoconiosis were cough, shortness of breath, general fatigue, weight loss, sputum danlain on. Besides, the disease can include inflammation, accumulation of dust, malignant tumors, and so on.
         Therefore in a company that has high levels of dust problems, very needy and require spirometry equipment, and so serves to lung health workforce in the firms.
