Medical examination of two groups of workers (19 and 15 males) engaged in the manufacture of technical asbestos products and exposed to different levels of asbestos dust (equal to MACs and exceeding MACs by 2-4 times, respectively) showed biochemical disturbances of lipid metabolism with an inflammatory-allergic component in the 1st group, and signs of irritation and destruction of the hepatobiliary system with elevated levels of chemoluminescence in the blood serum in the second. |
