The Tasmanian Lung Service provides a range of breathing tests at both our respiratory laboratory in Launceston and at the worksite.

Most workplace testing providers use spirometry as their sole measure of lung function. This is an important test to look at the health of the airways but does not provide an assessment of the areas of the lung that are involved in the exchange of gas. Pulmonary Gas Exchange testing is particularly important where lungs may have been affected by the inhalation of mineral dusts such as silica and asbestos.
