title: [Occupational selection in the prevention of respiratory platinosis].
abstract: In order to raise efficacy of primary prevention of platinosis an obsidan-based test (40 mg for internal use) was also used in vocational selection. After the obsidan-based test the decrease of pneumotachometric indicators was noted that reflected deficiency of the functional state of bronchial beta-adrenoreceptors by 6% and higher and was regarded as unfavourable. Of 110 examined persons 16 (14.5%) had significant test results. Similar deficiency was detected in 27 workers with respiratory platinosis, that fact verified the significance of beta-AR deficiency in the disease pathogenesis. The possibility of raising efficacy of primary prevention of respiratory platinosis was stressed due to the use of the additional obsidan-based test.
