title: [Digestive system diseases in workers engaged into chemical production of methanol and formalin].
abstract: The article covers digestive system morbidity in workers engaged into chemical production of methanol and formalin. Blood changes, abnormal blood biochemistry (increased GGT level and GGT/GOT ratio) prove early development of toxic hepatitis. Other finding is increased incidence of liver disorders (diffuse changes proved by ultrasound examination).
