Abstract:
There is a marked growth of common and occupational morbidity related to the broncho-pulmonary system in Ukraine. This tendency is seen in Dnepropetrovsk region, where an increase in ocupational diseases is observed mainly on mining and smelting plants. Ocupational pulmonary diseases have long asymptomatic period and are diagnostically easy revealed at the late stages. It leads to stable disability and early mortality of these patients. Determination of rate and pecularities of the development of broncho-pulmonary system disorders in employees of plants with unhealthy working conditions as well as timely prophylactic and rehabilitation measures directed to the workers are highly important issue nowadays.
