<abstract displayLabel="Summary">It has been found that forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV) is a good predictor of mortality due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hence, in the prevention of COPD it is important to identify determinants of the annual decline of FEV. It is generally well, accepted that smoking is associated with increased annual decline of FEV. The relation between the development of COPD and occupational exposure to airborne pollutant is less well documented although the evidence for such an association is increasing. The authors have performed repeated spirometries annually in potroom workers for six years at an aluminium smelter in western Norway. The objective of the study was to investigate the chronic effect of exposure to potroom pollutants on the development of lung function in pot operators</abstract>
