title: [Biotoxicological research on a segment of the population in an industrial environment. I. Total proteins, hemoglobin, methemoglobin and cholinesterase].
abstract: The inevitable chemical risks present in a synthetic threads and fibres aggregate works determine a careful and permanent surveillance of employees' state of health, especially where the occupational risk is known to exist. Besides the usual labour protection measures, screening for the early detection of some biochemical or biotoxicological changes induced by the contact with the chemical noxae in the labour environment are performed. This paper presents the results of a complex biochemical and biotoxicological screening including about 300 employees working at the polyplants in the melanin section where the major chemical noxa is acrylonitrile. The total proteins, hemoglobin, methemoglobin and cholinesterase activity were determined.
