Abstract

Determining risks of bronchial asthma is one of the main tasks in contemporary occupational pulmonology. The important risk factor is nonspecific increased reactivity of bronchi. The work was aimed to determine occurrence of nonspecific increased reactivity of bronchi in individuals working with pneumotropic polluters and to test a new method determining.
