Resumen Occupational health survey of 130 antimony foundry workers, covering a period of 10 years. Sb and As concentrations were found to be greatly in excess of Czechoslovak TLVs. The observed groups of foundry workers exhibited pathological changes of the skin and gingivae, peripheral nerve disorders with hyporeflexia, paresthesia and myalgia, and changes in nasal septum including septal perforation. In comparison with the control group there was a higher rate of absenteeism among the foundry workers, a relatively higher frequency rate of premature invalidity, and mean life-span was shorter.
