[Vitamin levels in workers in the main departments of the coke-processing industry].

Providing with vitamins was studied in workers of the main shops of coal-tar chemical industry at the Karaganda Metallurgic Plant. Insufficient providing of workers with vitamins A, C, P and B was recorded. The results of the study have necessitated measures aimed at correcting vitamin-deficiency among these workers with due account for the data obtained.

[Effect of working conditions in the coke-processing department on the secretory function of the adrenal cortex].

In 85 randomly chosen employees of the coal tar distillation department working at least 5 years, exposed to toxic substances not exceeding MAC except tar substances and benzo(a)pyrene, whose concentrations were high, blood level of cortisol and 17 OHCS and 17 KS excretion in urine were examined. In the most exposed group cortisol level decreased and the 17 OHCS excretion augmented.

[Hygienic evaluation of air and soil pollution with mercury in the area of location of a coke plant].

It has been established that processes of coal carbonization are accompanied by intensive mercury discharge into the air and soil. The maximum levels of ambient air contamination by mercury are determined 0.5 km away from the source--0.0016 mg/m3, 3 km away from the source--lower than 0.00024 mg/m3. Technogenic area of mercury is almost twice the territory of the plant, and it is stretched along the prevalent direction of the winds. Mercury concentrations at different distances away from the plant were 2.76 mg/kg (0.5 km), 1.97 mg/kg and 0.26 mg/kg. Simultaneous isolation of mercury from coals in the process of coal carbonization is recommended.

[Neutrophil function in the peripheral blood of workers in a coke plant].

In workers of the cooking plant the resting metabolism of peripheral blood neutrophils has been evaluated. The nitrotetrazolium blue reduction has been used for evaluation of above phenomenon. Simultaneously analogous investigations have been performed in properly selected control group. It has been stated that the cooking plant environment represents a strong stimulator of the neutrophil resting metabolism as seen by significant increase of the formazan-positive cells when compared with that in the control group.

[Characteristics of coke plants. Health and ergonomic conditions].

1300 workers were employed in that plant; 632 in production out of which 308, most exposed, worked in the baking ovens department. The hygienic examinations revealed a very high concentration of benzo(a)piren and crude tar in the air of in the baking ovens department the MAC from several to 600 times. Other harmful substances and dust, as well as the industrial noise exceeded the MAC only incidentally. The ergonomic examinations revealed the exceeding of the energetic expenditory only in the door operators of cooking ovens. The results of medical examination will be presented in subsequent papers.
