title: [Features of the status of otorhinolaryngologic organs of subway train mechanics].
abstract: 337 mechanics exposed to chemical and physical hazards while servicing subway trains were examined for ENT status. Abnormalities were registered in 87.5% of the examinees. Frequent isolated and combined affections of the nose and pharynx occurred as a rule with mucosal dystrophy. Allergic conditions were not evident. 58 patients with hearing defects had cochlear neuritis of occupational origin. Prophylactic measures are proposed: individual aids protecting hearing organ and respiratory tracts, improved routine medical examinations with indication of the risk groups.
