Forced expiratory volume and expiratory flow rate in Black miners and in a control group.
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1976 The peak expiratory flow rate and the forced expiratory volume and 1 second were measured in 772 Black miners who did not have pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis or chronic bronchitis. The same tests were done in 164 non-mining workers. It was found that exposure to dust associated with the miners' work had no effect on the results of these tests.

A comparison of a smoking and nonsmoking population using the forced expiratory flow in the seventy-five to eighty-five percent segment of the spirometric curve [PDF]
Forced vital capacity lung expiration examinations of nonsmoking and cigarette-smoking male sample populations were compared to determine if the 75 to 85 percent segment was a more sensitive test of early lung dysfunction.
