[Working conditions and health status of workers engaged in the production of zinc compounds].
It was established that industrial shops engaged in zinc compounds' processing were characterized by considerable temperature shifts, relative humidity and air motion changes. In drying and packing shops, concentrations of the final product dusts were established at 0.8-2 mg/m3. The major occupational pathology was constituted by skin and upper respiratory tract diseases, including allergic and contact dermatitis, chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis and rhinitis. Blood tests revealed B-lymphocytes: increases, circulating immune complexes and considerable levels of lymphocytic spontaneous blastotransformations. Erythrocytic acidic hemolysis was markedly changed, which proved disbalances in the system of red blood.
