Abstract

The VC-disease is another example of the constant threat working people are exposed to. A resonable collaboation of all competent bodies will allow to minimize the hazards or to remove them, and thus to "humanize" the working conditions. The VC-disease should be recognized as an occupational disease, the maximal concentration of VC at the working place should be standardized. New chemical products of considerable economic importance such as VC should be examined carefully before being commercialized.
