The main goal of this research was the assessment of occupational exposure effects with Asbestos fibers on pulmonary function and lung capacity disorders in worker of an Asbestos- cement pipe and plate manufacturing plant.   Methods: This research is a Cross-sectional study. In this study,78 personnelof an Asbestos- cement plant were studied during 2009-2010. Required information was collected by completing a respiratory questionnaire prepared according to standard reference personnel exposed to different concentrations of asbestos fibers. For the evaluation of pulmonary function of personnel lung spirometry was performed according to the American Thoracic Society standards and for data analysis Spss software & chi-square test were used.   Results: Subjects had the age average and SD of 41.05±5.2 .I In addition, in this study a significant association ( P CP - IRAN IN - Ar.zanganeh60@gmail.com LG - eng PB - IOH PG - 26 PT - Research YR - 2014
