A Study on Respiratory and Pulmonary Functions among Traffic Policemen in Gurgaon City
Main Article Content
Abstract
Due to continuous industrialization and the increasing use of cars, pollution has become a serious health problem in today's Indian cities. Asthma, pulmonary disease, rhinitis, recurrent respiratory disease, and other respiratory problems are more widespread in traffic police depending on the nature of their profession and working conditions. Job dissatisfaction, seeing and hearing the buzz, and physical symptoms including burning eyes, ringing temples, and back pain have all been linked to moderate anxiety over the past six months, according to this study. In addition, severe anxiety was associated with age, femininity, lack of job satisfaction, and reporting of ear-ringing sensations in the past 3 years. The objective of this paper is to determine whether traffic police in Gurgaon have bronchial morbidity and to test their respiratory rate using an electronic spirometer. A 6-month bridge study was conducted at select traffic police locations (September 2020 to February 2021) in Gurgaon city. In the future, this knowledge will help offer people a means to monitor the health of traffic police at work and stay on top of things.
