[Possibilities of the use of oxymethacil as an antioxidant in the prevention of intoxication in industrial surroundings and ecologically unhealthy areas]. / Vozmozhnost' primeneniia oksimetatsila v kachestve antioksidanta dlia profilaktiki intoksikatsii v usloviiakh proizvodstv i ékologicheski neblagopoluchnykh regionov.

Thorough clinical studies covering the workers engaged into chlorphenol production prove that prophylactic course of oxymethacyl results in long immune stimulation and antioxidant activity in the body. These properties make the medication essential for treatment and prophylaxis of intoxications of occupational and ecologic origin, as their underlying mechanisms are associated with prooxidant effects.

[Materials for the substantiation of the biological MAC of benzene]. / Materialy k obosnovaniiu biologicheskoi PDK benzola.

Relatively great amount of benzene-originated phenol, the presence of a definite relationship between phenol amount in the urine and benzene content in the air indicate that it is reasonable to use a phenol sample as an exposure test. To determine the intensity of benzene exposure, data on phenol content in the urine of people working at some big-tonnage enterprises has been analyzed. On the basis of the national and foreign literature data on the correlation between the phenol urine concentration and the level of benzene exposure a regression equation was deduced, which has made it possible to calculate phenol content in the urine on the level of average working day benzene concentration adopted in the USSR. This value equals 15 mg/l, which was proposed as a biological benzene MAC.
