Experience of individual carcinogenic risk evaluation in workers of metallurgic enterprise

Abstract

The predictive estimate of individual occupational carcinogenic risk for metallurgic enterprise workers with occupational exposure to chemical carcinogens helped to assign founders, blacksmiths, machine operators, nonferrous metals processing line operators, tool-makers, metal cutters, burners, grog operators to an increased risk group by probability of occupational cancer development. The retrospective epidemiologic study of chronic diseases prevalence and transitory disablement morbidity proved reliable increase of neoplasms occurrence under exposure to electromagnetic fields of personal computers — 1.5-fold, that to constant magnetic field — 1.2-fold; that to lead — 1.9-fold; that for increased body weight — 1.6-fold; that for hypodynamia — 1.2-fold; that for hypercholesterolemia — 1.3-fold; that for high blood pressure — 1.2-fold. The data obtained can serve as a basis of preventive strategy of carcinogenic risk minimization at an enterprise.
