Ever and cumulative occupational exposure and lung function decline in longitudinal population-based studies: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Pooled estimates from the longitudinal population-based studies have provided evidence that occupational exposures are associated with FEV1 decline. Specific exposure control and respiratory health surveillance are required to protect the lung health of the workers.
