[Epidemiologic characteristics of bronchopulmanory diseases in workers in the porcelain industry].
Morbidity patterns were studied in those working at the porcelain works, exposed to radiant heat, carbon monoxide, silicate dust, noise, xilol, toluene, plumbum. Diseases of the respiratory system, particularly acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) were found to prevail in the worker's general morbidity. There is an increased respiratory case rate among those individuals working with organic solvents, with the incidence rate being related to the service duration. The incidence of ARVI, influenza comes to be at its greatest in workers with the 10-year length of service whereas pneumonia morbidity is most common in those workers whose service duration is more then 10 years.
