title: The strategy of targetted health surveillance. I. Evaluation of the health effects of exposure to carcinogens. Malformations and neoplasms in children. Reproduction disorders.
abstract: In highly developed countries, prophylactic medical examinations to evaluate the general health condition of workers and health effects of exposure to toxins have, in the past, been administered early in their work history. Presently, there is a trend towards developing new methods of early detection of occupational and work-related diseases. Thus, individuals oversensitive to agents in their working environment could be prevented from exposure. However, the gap between the capabilities offered theoretically by new methods and their practical application in prophylactic examinations remains quite large. Part I of the presented study is focused on three essential issues of public concern specified in the given subtitles.
