Abstract

The review summarizes contemporary literature data on unfavorable influence of chemical factors on health state of workers engaged into chemical pharmaceutic enterprise Among occupational and occupationally conditioned diseases of chemical pharmaceutic industry workers, the leading places are occupied by diseases caused by long work in relatively moderate concentrations of chemical hazard The authors compared results of clinical examinations of workers in JSC «Organika» in 1985 and in 2009–2016. Findings are unfavorable picture with prevalent respiratory diseases — that necessitates thorough study of toxic effects of chemicals used or obtained in medical preparations synthesis.
