Impaired Pulmonary Functions and Respiratory Symptoms among Wet Blue Leather Tannery Workers

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS: Tannery workers have more respiratory problems and lung function impairments than the control group (Local community peoples). CURRENT FINDINGS: Our current findings endorse the null hypothesis statement. However, physician-diagnosed asthma was reported less among tannery workers than the control group. NATURE OF ATTACHED RAW DATA: The data was gathered through a questionnaire and a device of spirometry from the tannery workers and the control group. The raw data comprises information i.e. demographic factors and respiratory symptoms and lungs volume information of the participants. INTERPRETATION of DATA: Data was interpreted after analysis through SPSS (version 25) software. USE OF DATA: Data can be used to understand the respiratory as well as lung function status of the participants in the working and non working environment.研究假设：制革工人相较于对照组（当地社区居民），更易出现呼吸道疾病与肺功能损伤。 当前研究结果：本研究结果支持虚无假设。不过，相较于对照组，制革工人中经医师确诊的哮喘病例更少。 附随原始数据概况：本研究通过问卷与肺量测定设备（spirometry），向制革工人及对照组受试者收集原始数据。原始数据包含受试者的人口统计学特征、呼吸道症状信息及肺容积相关指标。 数据解读方式：本研究采用SPSS（版本25）统计软件完成数据分析后，对数据进行解读。 数据使用范围：该数据集可用于探究不同工作环境与非工作环境下受试者的呼吸道及肺功能状态。
