It as been stated that the initial period of exposure is characterized by adaptative reactions of neutrophils expressed in increased intracellular activity of acid hydrolases and diminished glycogen reserve. The advanced period of exposure, that is after 55 months of exposure, is associated with some signs of decreased biological deficiency of neutrophils expressed in lowering the activity of selected enzymes and accumulation of both glycogen and lipids.
