Sažetak
Although the association between COPD and urban air pollution is well established, the relationship between COPD and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, isomeric xylenes) exhaust particles has not been investigated. The objectives of this study was to determine the health impacts of these industrial pollutants which were assessed with spyrometric dynamic and static tests of inhabitants living in industrial areas, compared with those living in rural ones. Our results have shown significantly increasing BTEX values, which were associated with the altered spyrometry's findings in inhabitants from urban areas, suggesting the great role of industrial emission on COPD and point to the possible predictive role of BTEX measuring in these subjects.
