[Importance of hygienic monitoring in detection of etiological mechanisms of chronic lead poisoning in battery production plants]

Abstract

The authors demonstrate importance of hygienic monitoring for describing the course of chronic lead intoxication among workers of storage battery production. The authors specify and describe the principles of hygienic monitoring program, grouped and individual parameters (hygienic, medical and biologic) that are risk factors for chronic lead intoxication and subjects of control. The article contains some examples demonstrating possibilities of hygienic monitoring for matching the occupational morbidity parameters of storage battery production workers with work conditions and other parameters influencing the disease.
