title: [Biotoxicological research on a segment of the population in an industrial environment. II. Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, alkaline phosphatase and urinary thiocyanates].
abstract: The results of a populational study on detecting some early changes in the activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and alkaline phosphatase under the influence of industrial noxae in synthetic fibers plants are presented. At the same time thiocyanaturia, as an indicator of cian ion detoxication as well as of the noxious effect of smoking, was determined. The individual results showed only significant alterations in the activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, reason for which the respective individuals were referred to specialized medical institutions for complex laboratory and clinical investigations. On this occasion some alcohol addicts were also detected. The increased thiocyanaturia levels are explained only by tobacco smoking, as the professional noxae were always under the admitted limit.
