Using computer spirography with registration of "flow-volume" curve for forced expiration, the authors monitored the most informative parameters of respiratory biomechanics in coal miners having preclinical chronic dust bronchitis. Revealed decrease of the ventilation values by 10-20% from the initial ones outlines the group with increased risk for chronic dust bronchitis.
