Analysis of the structure of diseases of bodies of blood circulation and respiration at the plant for recycling of lead

Abstract

The work assessed the impact of lead as a trigger to develop cardiovascular and respiratory pathology. Total examinations of 130 workers of the plant for processing lead batteries were carried out. Chronic obstructive lung disease and arterial hypertension have been found to be the major abnormal states. The results of the clinical examination of the workers indicate the importance of the combined effects of lead as an important risk factor for diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
