[Medical prophylaxis of occupational intoxication in polyvinyl chloride industry]
Abstract:
The study covered clinical and laboratory findings, immunity parameters in 103 workers of polymer compounds production. The individuals exposed to chlorine organic chemicals: mercuric vapors, gaseous chlorine demonstrate specific changes of metabolic parameters. The data on protein synthesis, monooxygenases activity, lipid metabolism, state of membranes (lipoprotein complex, peroxidases, ALa-AT, Asp-AT), immune activity enabled to design prophylactic measures. To accomplish the therapeutic measures, the department for prevention of occupational intoxication is organized in local industrial medical center.
