[Epidemiology of occupational diseases in the shipyard in 1968-1979].

Abstract:

:717 cases of occupational disease diagnosed in the shipyard during 1968-1978 were analysed epidemiologically. High incidence of occupational diseases was found in the population examined, with a decreasing tendency during recent two years. Results of measurements of hazards concentrations and intensities, exhibiting often exceeded MAC values, along with quantitative distribution of particular occupational diseases, indicated evident impact of the shipyard working environment on the occurrence of those diseases, the morbidity risk being the highest at the workstations of forgemen, welders, and painters. Welders were Most frequently afflicted with pneumoconioses (45.9%), forgemen--with occupational hearing impairments (78.5%) and painters--maintenance technicians with dermatoses (44.6%). Occupational diseases prevalence was 6.5 fold higher among workers aged over 40 than among younger workers.
