Resumen Three groups of workers in a yellow phosphorus plant were compared with a control group of construction and assembly workers. The phosphorus workers were classified as essentially healthy, suspected of suffering from phosphorus intoxication, and clearly suffering from phosphorus intoxication. Even the apparently healthy group had reduced blood levels of nicotinamide coenzymes, as did the other 2 groups of phosphorus-plant workers. This and other changes in blood composition showed that excess phosphorus in the body increases the energy yield of glycolysis in erythrocytes to produce higher levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and its precursors. High levels of ATP and inorganic phosphorus produce secondary disturbances of nicotinamide coenzyme and glutathione metabolism.
