Present technology, sanitary equipment and hygienic measures in the main shops of "Electrozinc" plant are inadequate to prevent toxic pollution of environment. Climate and geographic position of Vladikavkaz city are also considered unfavourable. The air of "Electrozinc" working area and health status of "Electrozinc" employees were studied during past 5 years. Obtained results showed that employees engaged into lead and zinc production at "Electrozinc" are exposed to high concentrations of heavy elements (lead, zinc, cadmium et al.). Marked nonspecific biochemical changes as well as caused by specific exposure to lead and coexisting metals were detected in individuals, who had been considered apparently healthy. High level of transitory disablement morbidity also supports the idea of occupational hazards afflicting the health status of employees. Ecologic situation at "Electrozinc" and in Vladikavkaz necessitates further examination of health status in "Electrozinc" employees and inhabitants of nearby zone, treatment program and measures of primary prophylaxis.
“电锌”工厂主要车间目前的技术、卫生设备和卫生措施不足以防止对环境的有毒污染。弗拉季高加索市的气候和地理位置也被认为不利。在过去5年里，对“电锌”工作区的空气和“电锌”员工的健康状况进行了研究。获得的结果表明，在“电锌”从事铅和锌生产的员工暴露于高浓度的重金属（铅、锌、镉等）中。在那些被认为显然健康的个体中，检测到明显的非特异性生化变化以及由铅和共存金属的特定暴露引起的变化。高水平的暂时致残发病率也支持职业危害影响员工健康状况这一观点。“电锌”工厂及弗拉季高加索市的生态状况需要进一步检查“电锌”员工和附近地区居民的健康状况、治疗方案以及一级预防措施。
