| Abstract |
Results of medical examinations (duodenal probe, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, biochemical blood analysis) in 225 workers exposed to methyl methacrylate during bulk or suspension polymerisation. A number of pathological changes were observed in proportion to the length of service: a) peripheral blood (tendency to anaemia and leukopenia, lymphocytopenia and monocytosis); b) hepatic functions (disturbed protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, toxic lesions in severe cases); c) cardiovascular system (extracardiac disturbances or cardiac activity, toxic myocardial dystrophy). |
