THERAPEUTIC CLASS
Occupational lung diseases in Australia
Atypical Australian adult spends 25% of the entire week at work, and during that time his or her respiratory tract will be exposed to about 18 000 litres of air. This volume increases markedly if a job requires even light exertion with resultant increase in minute ventilation. The quality of air at work is a major determinant of respiratory health and any part of the respiratory tract from the nose to alveoli can be adversely affected
