title: [Effects of chemical agents on the immunity status of workers at Novomoskovsk enterprises].
abstract: A comprehensive study was made of the body's immunological and microbiological responses to industrial health hazards at chemical enterprises. For this, a total of 284 workers from the Novomoskovsk Bytchim and Orgsintez Production Associations were investigated by the conventional procedures. The workers were found to have immunological changes at the cellular and humoral levels as compared with the persons who were not engaged in chemical industry. There are also changes in the structure of the intestinal microflora at the expense of higher quantities of opportunistic microbes. The findings suggest that the workers of chemical enterprises experience great immunological influences of chemical compounds in their working places, despite the existing safety and protection measures. A number of proposals have been introduced to prevent immunological and microbiological changes in this group of persons.
