“…However, in the present comparison of groups of individuals there was a very clear difference, with only one abnormal x-ray in the control series and 21 in the exposed series. A reduced arterial oxygen tension and a raised alveolar-arterial oxygen difference have been reported by a number of workers (Wright, 1955;Williams and Hugh-Jones, 1960b;Bjure, Soderholm, and Widimsky, 1964). Reduced lung volumes without airway obstruction were also found.…”

“…Reduced transfer factor and restrictive ventilatory impairment are a common functional profile. Other types of profile are, however, reported (Bjure et al, 1964;Muldoon and Turner-Warwick, 1972;Fournier-Massey and Becklake, 1975). Chronic bronchitis may modify the results of functional studies.…”

“…The pattern of lung function changes in asbestosis is characterized by a restrictive ventilatory insufficiency with impairment of gas exchange in re lation to a pulmonary diffuse fibrosis [Marks et al, 1957;Read and Wil liams, 1959;Leathart, 1960;Bader et al, 1961Bader et al, ,1965; H eard and Williams, 1961; Rubino et al, 1961;Bjure et al, 1964;G aly and Pellet, 1964;Sartorelli, 1963Sartorelli, , 1964Sartorelli et al, 1964; Thomson et al, 1965;Becklake et al, 1970;Langlands et al, 1971], It is interesting to note that a reduction in pulmonary diffusing capacity for CO, both with single breath and steady-state methods, was frequently demonstrated in asbestos-exposed subjects with very slight radiographic changes and also with normal X-ray [Williams, 1964;Leathart, 1968;Sartorelli, 1966;Kleinfeld et al, 1966;H arries, 1969].…”
