| Abstract |
Comparative study of 111 workers exposed to CS2 (222 controls) and 189 workers exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons (378 controls). A significantly increased rate of lipid metabolism changes (42.3%) was found in the CS2-exposed persons; in the group exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons, the hyperlipoproteinaemia rate was 13.2%. Correlations were established between the β-lipoproteins, tri-glycerides and cholesterol, and the results of other laboratory tests. The positive correlations between the Broca index, lipoproteins and cholesterol were most marked in those exposed to CS2. The pathology of changes in lipid metabolism and standard biological values (lipoproteins in particular) due to halogenated hydrocarbons and CS2 is discussed. |
