[Occupational and ecologic components of regional industrial health risk in population exposed to mercury].
Having total ecologic load considerably higher than that among general population, industrial workers form a priority risk group in ecologically unfavorable region characterized by environmental pollution with variable toxic chemicals. Nearly 70% of risk in the industrial workers are due to occupational factors. However, higher mercury content of biologic materials in the general population, being slightly lower than that in the industrial workers, could indicate possible specific conditions caused by mercury exposure in some residents of the settlement under study.
