title: [The occupational risk in the manufacture of mineral pigments and iron oxide dyes].
abstract: The mineral pigments and ferric oxide dyes are used on a large scale in the paint and varnish industry, in building, chemical industry, polygraphy etc. For their production as basic raw materials are used lead, chromium and iron compounds. The concentrations of the toxic and accummulating lead and chromium in the air of the work environment surpass MAC and create most frequently "especially unfavourable" conditions of work. In all industrial processes the leading unfavourable factor is the chemical combined with unfavourable physical factors and overstress on the locomotor system. Changes were established in the organism of examined workers as result from the chronic effect of the factors of the work environment of the peripheral blood, digestive, nervous system and the skin. In view of reducing the risk of exposure to the toxic chemical factor it is imposed to take measures for sanitation of the work environment.
