[Hygienic evaluation of contact with asbestos-containing dusts at thermoelectric power plants].
Hygienic evaluation of air in heating power stations revealed the contamination caused by putting and removing heat-proof covers and showed that insulating workers are exposed to asbestos in concentrations sufficient to cause asbestos-related diseases including malignancies. All this is supported by roetgenologic signs of exposure to asbestos, which were seen during the primary medical examination of the workers having long length of service. The study showed that the staffers out of deal with asbestos are also exposed to the asbestos-containing dust in concentrations exceeding the MAC. So all personnel of heating power stations could be assigned to the group for asbestos-related diseases development.
