Resumen This is a review of biotechnological processes and of their health implications for workers. Most of the hazards associated with industrial fermentation, not a new process, are known. Newer processes, such as the manufacturing of certain pharmaceuticals and enzymes on a large scale, can lead to direct effects on human tissue, or to allergic reactions. So far no new hazards have been identified in connection with genetic manipulation (work with recombinant DNA), but care should be taken to prevent such hazards from developing.
