Methods:  This was a cross-sectional observational study involving production sector workers of a pyrochlore mining company. The subjects completed the British Medical Research Council questionnaire, which is designed to evaluate respiratory symptoms, occupational exposure factors, and smoking status. In addition, they underwent pulmonary function tests with a portable spirometer.  Results:  The study involved 147 workers (all male). The mean age was 41.37 \u00b1 8.71 years, and the mean duration of occupational exposure was 12.26 \u00b1 7.09 years. We found that 33 (22.44%) of the workers had respiratory symptoms and that 26 (17.69%) showed abnormalities in the spirometry results. However, we found that the spirometry results did not correlate significantly with the presence of respiratory symptoms or with the duration of occupational exposure.  Conclusions:  The frequencies of respiratory symptoms and spirometric changes were low when compared with those reported in other studies involving occupational exposure to dust. No significant associations were observed between respiratory symptoms and spirometry results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1806-37562015000000221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,3]],"date-time":"2016-09-03T16:58:42Z","timestamp":1472921922000},"page":"279-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Evaluation of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms in pyrochlore mine workers"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Ritta de C\u00e1ssia Canedo Oliveira","family":"Borges","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Universit\u00e1rio do Planalto de Arax\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Cerqueira","family":"Barros J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Companhia de Minera\u00e7\u00e3o do Pirocloro de Arax\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabr\u00edcio Borges","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Universit\u00e1rio do Planalto de Arax\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa Andrade","family":"Brunherotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Franca,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo Roberto Veiga","family":"Quemelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Franca,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.2113\/gselements.7.6.399","article-title":"Mine Wastes and Human Health","volume":"7","author":"Plumlee GS","year":"2011","journal-title":"Elements"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"ref2","first-page":"S27","article-title":"Occupacional asthma [Article in Portuguese] J Bras","volume":"32","author":"Fernandes AL","year":"2006","journal-title":"Pneumol"},{"issue":"5","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqh073","article-title":"Occupational respiratory disease in mining","volume":"54","author":"Ross MH","year":"2004","journal-title":"Occup Med (Lond)"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Minist\u00e9rio da Sa\u00fade.
