В 2008 г. у 1397 работников электролизного производства никеля выявлено 3744 хронических непрофессиональных заболеваний, в числе которых наиболее распространёнными были болезни костно-мышечной системы (23,0%). У 41,9% работников была установлена низкая, у 17,7% — умеренная, у 16,7% — средняя, у 10,7 — высокая и у 12,9% — очень высокая категория риска развития профессиональной патологии. В течение последующих 13 лет (2009–2021 гг.) у 89 работников впервые диагностировано 201 хроническое профессиональное заболевание преимущественно органов дыхания (58,7%) и костно-мышечной системы (28,9%). Всего профессиональные заболевания сформировались у 6,4% работников, в том числе у 13,6% чистильщиков, у 7,6% слесарей-ремонтников, у 6,6% электролизников, у 5,7% машинистов крана, у 4,9% аппаратчиков-гидрометаллургов и электромонтёров. Профессиональная заболеваемость составила 114,31 на 10 тыс. работников с наиболее высокими показателями у чистильщиков (328,69). Профессиональные заболевания были выявлены у 1,0% работников с низкой категорией риска, у 2,8% — с умеренной, у 6,8% со средней, у 13,3% — с высокой и у 22,2% — с очень высокой.</p></sec><sec><title>Ограничения исследования</title><p>Ограничения исследования.

Despite the technological modernization of the nickel industry, workers employed in it continue to be at increased risk of developing occupational pathology.</p><p>The study aims to assess occupational health risks in the electrolysis production of nickel according to the longitudinal epidemiological study.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. Experts have studied the data of workplace certification, periodic medical examination (2008) and the register of occupational diseases of the Murmansk region in 2009–2021.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. In 2008, scientists identified 3,744 chronic unprofessional diseases in 1,397 nickel electrolysis workers, among which the most common were diseases of the musculoskeletal system (23.0%). 41.9% of workers had a low, 17.7% — moderate, 16.7% — medium, 10.7% — high and 12.9% — very high category of risk for the development of professional pathology. During the next 13 years (2009-2021), the authors have diagnosed 201 chronic occupational diseases for the first time in 89 employees, mainly respiratory organs (58.7%) and musculoskeletal system (28.9%). In total, occupational diseases were formed in 6.4% of workers, including 13.6% of cleaners, 7.6% of repairmen, 6.6% of electrolyzers, 5.7% of crane drivers, 4.9% of hydrometallurgical apparatchiks and electricians. Occupational morbidity was 114.31 per 10,000 workers with the highest rates in cleaners (328.69). We have detected occupational diseases in 1.0% of workers with a low risk category, 2.8% with moderate, 6.8% with medium, 13.3% with high and 22.2% with very high.</p></sec><sec><title>Limitations</title><p>Limitations.

Researchers have obtained new data on the formation of occupational pathology in the electrolysis production of nickel, taking into account the specialty of employees and the category of occupational risk.</p></sec><sec><title>Ethics</title><p>Ethics. We carry out the study in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration.
