[Peripheral blood neutrophils in automobile tire factory workers in the light of cytochemical studies].

In 73 workers producing rubber mixtures and tubes the number and percentage composition of white peripheral blood cells as well as the NBT reduction test and cytochemical reactions to lactic (LDH) and succinic (SDH) dehydrogenases in neutrophils were estimated. The amount and percentage composition only slightly differed from controls. The NBT reduction index and the reactivity of LDH and SDH tests in neutrophils were elevated.

[Immunoelectrophorogram and serum levels of immunoglobulins G, A and M in automobile tire factory workers].

Electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis of serum proteins and concentrations of IgG, IgA and IgM in serum were estimated in 87 rubber tire workers producing rubber mixtures (44 males) and tubes (25 males and 18 females). The total serum protein concentration, as compared with controls, was not changed, however the percentage of gamma globulins was elevated and that of albumins and alpha and beta globulins reduced. The immunoelectrophoretic distribution frequently showed a rise of acute phase proteins and immunoglobulins, most frequently those of IgG and IgA. Quantitative determinations showed a significant rise of serum IgG and IgA and in workers employed at the production of rubber mixtures also a fall of IgM concentrations, as compared to control groups.

[Suicidal carbon monoxide poisoning in an automobile with the engine switched off].

Report is made on a suicidal carbon monoxide poisoning through entrance of exhaust fumes into the interior of the vehicle. The situation of discovery (switched-off engine) occasioned experimental examinations. The result showed that fatal carbon monoxide concentrations can obviously remain in the interior of a vehicle over a long period of time.

[Human response to vibration. An ergonomic applicability of current knowledge to the automobile].

With technological progress, vibrations as a risk factor for health have now extended beyond the boundaries of the workplace to become a social rather than an occupational risk. Now that we know the local or general damage vibrations can cause, ergonomists and occupational health officers are increasingly involved in the preparation of techniques for the application of their knowledge to preventive measures. Apparently, negative reactions derive form the impact on sensorial structures that develop very slowly with completely new sensorial stimuli. The acoustic and chronic effects of middle frequency vibration on various parts of the body are described both in experimental conditions and on a particular group of workers. Given the complexity of the vibration in human system interaction it is naturally extremely difficult to establish a universally valid scientific criteria to assess the response of the human body. These limitations expressly declared in the ISO 2631 guide are also implicit in the other regulations proposed. Having re-emphasised the need for research that is more relevant to application demands especially in car production, preventive medicine suggests that responses may be more adequately assessed by the application of new instrumental diagnostic techniques and the comparison of data on a vast scale.
