[Health effects of atmospheric pollution in areas of paper-cellulose production and fodder yeast manufacture].
In one of the studied towns with a large plant for cellulose and paper and another for fodder yeasts the ambient air was polluted by specific contaminants--hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans considerably higher in town R than in town B after data of the Principle Hydrological and Meteorological Administration. A higher incidence was established both in the general morbidity and the nosological units, probably etiologically determined by the defined pollutants in town R. Both the allergic reactivity and the clinico-laboratory indices, which characterise the functional state of the exposed pollution, were raised. The results give grounds to believe, that the ambient air pollution in town R is a risk factor for the health of the population.
