[Morbidity with temporary disability of the workers of coal-processing factories]

A profound analysis of morbidity with temporary disability (MTD) revealed low health states of the women engaged in coal preparation plants in both Northern and Southern regions of the country. The results obtained proved the major role of labour conditions in the structure of the MTD levels, particularly in such diseases as acute respiratory (dust, hazardous microclimate), hypertension (noise), vascular dystonia (noise and vibration), radiculitis and myositis (poor microclimate). The data proposed a basis for planning health improvement measures.
