RESUMO
Occupational hygienic and medico-statistical study is carried out in shop LOOM-300 for rolling of steel. The rate of exposure to chemical and dust factor of the workers is determined by means of index of exposure after the formula [formula: see text] The personal analysis of morbidity with temporary disability shows an increase of the basic indices "frequency" and "gravity" during the three year period. The per cent of the sick is higher in men, in the workers with higher index of exposure and in the younger age groups (up to 40 years old) with short labour of service, which certifies, for insufficient adaptation to the new working conditions. A conclusion is made, that the progressive increase of the indices of morbidity are serious warning for future high rate of morbidity, if labour hygienic and medico-preventive measures are not taken.

On the basis of job characteristics of workers from the production "ethylene", chronometric studies and measurement of concentration from chemical compounds are developed professional diagrams and risk diagrams, which give a possibility for more precise account of the exposure to chemical noxious compounds (by figures). According to the values of the estimated total index of exposure 156 workers are distributed in 5 groups. Besides, 48 workers with prolonged length of service in the production and 37 persons control group are examined. The toxicological, haematological and biochemical indices are studied and the neuro-vegetative status traced. Mainly in the groups with high chemical exposure (first and second risk groups) and with prolonged length of service are established high per cent of workers with deviation in the examined indices, which give grounds to assert for the presence of dose-response relationship.
