Background: Lung reactions to exposure to dust, gases, and fumes at work places have been studied in different populations. The emission level of pollutants that emit particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in size (PM 10) has been found very high in Ahmedabad. Processes in the foundry production involve the potential hazards for inhalation exposures that may lead to respiratory diseases, metabolic disorders of trace elements. However, the dependence of lung dysfunction on the metal toxicity is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the parenting stress levels in parents of children who have cerebral palsy as compared to parents of normal children. Further objectives were to ascertain variables predictive of parenting stress levels. Methods: A Cross-Sectional comparative study was conducted on foundry workers from naroda Ahmedabad and normal subjects from V.S hospital campus, Ahmedabad.. A total of 20 foundry workers underwent pulmonary function testing. Their spirometry parameters were compared with 20 ages-matched, healthy controls. Results: A significant reduction (P < 0.001) was found in the spirometry parameters, such as, forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC (%), MVV in foundry workers, as compared to the controls. The mean values of FEV1/FVC (%) were significantly increased (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study confirm that Iron foundry workers were found to have a lower lung function than normal subjects.
