[Health status of railway workers using magnetic powder flaw detectors].

The rates of morbidity with temporary working incapacity (TWI) of magnetic-powder defectoscopic operators are discussed. The incidence of diseases with TWI and the days of disability in the study group of workers are greater than the average industrial rates. A comprehensive physical examination detected asthenic vegetative syndrome. This shows it necessary to improve methodological approaches to medical examinations of workers exposed to electromagnetic waves.
