[The results of the medical examination of forestry industry workers in an area under intensified radioecological control].
Overall ninety five workers engaged in forestry of Ukraine living in the controlled territories of this country were examined. Some patients had augmented bodily content of cesium-137, the cause of this thought to be related to their being resident in the localities with its high concentrations in the soil (above 15 Ki in sq. km.), failure to observe sanitary and hygienic measures, violation of a great many of matters related to everyday life and social conditions. No association was found between bodily levels of cesium-137 and pathology. I to II degree hyperplasia of the thyroid gland ran its course with no impairement of its functions. The most prevalent nosological form among diseases of the respiratory system in the examined contingent appeared to be chronic bronchitis. Quantitative and qualitative parameters of hemopoesis do not exceed the bounds of the populational ones and are consistent with change patterns in chronic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system under ecologic health hazard conditions.
