[Hematological studies of the populations of Lower Silesia living in different ecological conditions].
Haematological investigations were carried out in different population groups in Lower Silesia. The total material investigated included 439 men and 229 women. The investigations demonstrated that the haemoglobin level, erythrocyte count haematocrit index were lower in the population of villages lying around copper processing plants. The mean reticulocyte count exceeded significantly that in the control group. The highest parameters of erythrocyte system were found in the group of men from a large city despite their occupational exposure to exhaust gases. The leucocyte count was 6-7000/mul in all groups with the exception of the urban group in which it was 1000-1500/mul lower than the mean values in the remaining groups. Lymphocytosis was observed most frequently in this group. The highest mean percent of granulocytes and the lowest incidence of lymphocytosis were observed in the control group from a rural population in a non-industrialized area while rural groups around industrial centres showed intermediate values. In the female group from a locality exposed particularly to industrial pollution low platelet count was frequent.
