Abstract
Background : A large number of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and ozone influence on the body. These pollutants put a burden on the lung and the sequelae resulting from the oxidative stress are thought to contribute to the development of fibrotic lung disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer. Also, carbon monoxide generated from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds is an important component of air pollution caused by traffic exhaust fumes and has the toxic effect of tissue hypoxia and produce various systemic and neurologic complications. The objective of this study is to compare the difference of pulmonary function and serum carboxyhemoglobin(CO-Hb) level between the traffic policemen and clerk policemen. Method : Three hundred and twenty-nine of traffic policemen, and one hundred and thirty clerk policemen were included between 2001 May and 2002 August. The policemen who took part in this study were asked to fill out a questionnaire which included questions on age, smoking, drinking, years of working, work-related symptoms and past medical history. The serum CO-Hb level was measured by using carboxyoximeter. Pulmonary function test was done by using automated spirometer. Additional tests, such as elecrocardiogram, urinalysis, chest radiography, blood chemistry, and CBC, were also done. Results :
연구배경 : 대기오염 물질들은 폐나 점막등으로 흡수되어 폐기능 및 건강에 여러 가지 악영향을 미칠 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이에 저자들은 대기오염에 노출이 심하다고 생각되는 교통경찰과, 비 교통경찰을 비교하여 대기오염이 교통경찰의 폐기능과 혈중 CO-Hb농도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2001년 5월부터 2002년 8월까지 본원외래를 방문한 현직 교통경찰 329명과, 비 교통경찰 130명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고, 각각의 군에서 폐기능 검사 및 정맥혈을 채취하여 CO-Hb농도를 측정하였으며, 심전도, 소변검사, 일반혈액검사, 생화학검사, 흉부방사선 검사를 시행하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 결 과 :
