There were performed biochemical and cytological studies of blood in healthy workers of chrysotile asbestos plant in order to determine the functional state of the body, depending on the length of service and working conditions. Mentioned differences between the functional state of the organism were determined in the longitudinal study, under construction on schedule time series with the test group at specified intervals (every year for 7 years surveyed, the same group of healthy workers). The differences between the indices allow one to discriminate different levels of the functional state of the organism for the workers employed at processing complex with experience of 4 and 5 years, and for the employees in the mining and transport workshop with the experience of 5 and 6 years. As a result the work experience of 5 years is considered to be an occupational hazard for workers at processing complex, and 6 years of experience - as an occupational hazard for workers of mining and transport workshop.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
