title: [Biological age of the workers of plants producing thermo-, sound-, and asbestos isolating materials].
abstract: Determination of biological age in workmen helps towards the carrying out of an analysis of a contribution that factors of the working environment and labour process make into age-associated decline in vital capacity, screening for detection of those persons bearing a high risk for a disease that might be contracted/sustained in the course of the employment; it can be used in early diagnosis and in implementing better measures designed to administer primary and secondary prophylaxis of diseases arising out of the employment, due to health hazard exposure in industrial settings, and of occupational diseases. The findings from the conducted studies on biological age of workers of the thermal-and-sound plants and asbestos product plants suggest to us a growing rate of aging.
