[Estimation of the total mutagenic activity of the industrial environment at ferrous metallurgy enterprises].
Complex cytogenetical and genetico-epidemiological examination has been conducted with workers of metallurgic industry. It is shown that a complex of factors of the blast-furnace and steel plants produces a 2-3 times higher cytogenetic effect in groups of workers as against the control level. A considerable increase in the level of intrauterine losses (the frequency of spontaneous abortions) is observed in the case of contact of father and mother with a complex of the industrial environment pollutants.
