ABSTRACT
73 male workers in the explosive industry were examined clinically; laboratory investigations were done detect liver affection. SGOT, SGPT and alkaliue phosphatase were found significantly high [p < 0.001]. The serum protein and albumin were decreased while alpha 1, alpha 2 and gama globulin were increased and these were statistically significant. Lead and copper were increased while iron and zinc were decreased and these also were statistically significant. These findings indicate liver affection which can be attributed to exposure to T. N. T. glycol derivarives, organic solvents and lead stearate. Regarding the neurological effects, the salient features were peripheral neuritis, muscle weakness and headache
