| Abstract |
In 142 persons working in a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant, levels of immunoglobulins, lysozyme and some proteins in serum and their correlation with age, length of exposure and smoking habits were monitored. There were large differences in IgG and IgA levels between smokers and nonsmokers, and a subgroup was particularly sensitive to the effect of smoking on simultaneous exposure to vinyl chloride. |
