Prevalence and risk of endometriosis in industrial territories
Abstract
The study covered prevalence of endometriosis under various levels of exposure to chemical environmental factors and chemical risk factors for immune and reproductive female systems, identified as exposure markers in sanitary epidemiologic studies. Findings are that a part of inhabited area neighbouring to industrial territory is characterized by unacceptable risk of immune disorders and reproductive system diseases due to chronic exposure to formaldehyde, nickel, lead, benzene, that can result in increased prevalence of endometriosis.
