Spirometry Testing

ABOUT

Spirometry is a non-invasive breathing test that measures how much air a participant can breathe in and out, and how fast they can exhale. It is used in many medical surveillance programs. In combination with other medical tests, spirometry testing can help employers make informed decisions about worker task assignments, potential hazardous exposure and assess exposure-related health effects.
