Abstract
An attempt was undertaken to use the following indices of systemic changes resulting from longlasting occupational exposure to some chemicals: -- ferrum concentration in blood serum, the level of latent capacity to bind ferrum, and the degree of transferrin saturation with ferrum. The examination involved 177 clinically healthy men, aged 18--60. The control group consisted of 40 healthy men, aged 22--60. In 30.5% of persons, deviations were found, which might be induced by disturbances in general immunity of the organism, whereas in 16,4% the deviations might indicate chronic systemic changes.
