[Beta-carotene prevention of immune disorders in workers engaged in the fire copper refining].
The paper deals with the studies of the human status and immunological responsiveness of workers engaged in copper-smelting industry. The examinees were found to more frequently develop lower environmentally induced immunological responsiveness followed by leuko- and lymphopenia, higher lymphocytic CD4+/CD8+ ratios, phagocytic dysfunction in peripheral blood. Preventive use of beta-carotene prevented negative changes in immunological parameters.
