Penknovich, ArcA. (Research Institute of Hygiene and Occupational Pathology, Russia) Abstract Chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) is one of the widespread diseases in persons having occupational contact with substances with irritant effect on respiratory ways. Early preclinical diagnosis of COB is a necessary condition for prevention of pronounced forms of the disease, which are hard to cure. The diagnosis should be based on clinicofunctional investigation with a detection of partial volume velocities of forced expiration. One can judge about preclinical manifestations of COB using the following formula: f = 0,0271 x FEU1/ UC + 0,016 x FEF25 + 0,0173 x FEF75 - 4,2614 where FEU1/UC - expressed in percentage; FEF25 and FEF75 expressed in percentage to due values, respectively.(R.F.Klement et al. 1986). Persons without clinical manifestations of chronic bronchitis, but which have f < 0 should be considered as persons with preclinical sympto
