[Field trials of the impact of chemical air pollution on rabbit formed blood elements].
Ufa is the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan is a large center of chemical and petrochemical industry. Pollution of the environment spreads to the vicinity of the city. Under these conditions, of great importance is a combination of influences of low-intensity chemical factors on living organisms in the settlements rather than an influence of individual chemical reagents. It is most adequate to explore the latter through field trials, i.e. to monitor the status of experimental animals during their stay in the area under study. The blood system is the most informative indicator, therefore peripheral blood formed elements were used as test objects. The authors have established the following: 1. No significant changes were found in the peripheral blood formed elements of adult rabbits in the control group during their 3-month stay in the settlement of Gornyi, Chishminsky District (Republic of Bashkortostan). 2. The 3-month monitoring of experimental rabbits revealed some changes in their peripheral blood formed elements, which pointed to a certain level of hemic hypoxia. 3. The magnitude of the found blood changes in the experimental animals of Group 1 from the settlement of Tsekh Kerami (Ceramics Shop), Blagoveshchensky District, was higher than that in Group 2 from the village of Kabakovo, Karmaskalinsky District (Republic of Bashkortostan).
