title: [Effects of 1-bromopropane on liver and kidney functions of exposed workers].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effects of 1-bromopropane (1-BP) on liver and kidney functions of exposed workers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Occupational health situation in three 1-BP plants was investigated. Fifty-four workers from the 1-BP manufacturing line were chose to be contact group, while 42 workers from non-1-BP manufacturing line as control group. All workers underwent questionnaire survey, liver function test as well as kidney function test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Working years has no impact on liver and kidney functions of workers from contact group. Compared with the control, liver and kidney functions test of the two groups showed no statistical difference either.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The present investigation doesn't prove any impact of occupational 1-BP exposure on worker's liver and kidney functions.
