Title Recognised occupational diseases and poisoning cases in Czechoslovakia in 1973
Original title Nemoci z povolání a profesionální otravy uznané v Československu v roce 1973 [in Czech]
Bibliographic information Apr. 1975, Vol.27, No.4, p.121-126.
Abstract In Czechoslovakia in 1973 a total of 4,869 cases of disease (about the same level as in previous years) were recognised as being of occupational origin. This figure could be rounded out by 99 cases of health damage where it was impossible to determine precisely whether the damage was related to occupation or to working environment. An analysis of these statistics is presented. As regards incidence, the most numerous were occupational infections (1,667 cases), then dermatitis of various types (1,296), and dust-induced pulmonary fibrosis (798 cases).
