Hygienic, clinical and functional studies showed that the women engaged into building ceramics production are exposed to occupational hazards, the leading one is dust. Those hazards affect the health status of women engaged into the stated production and result in their higher morbidity. The respiratory diseases, basically chronic bronchitis and tracheobronchitis, are the leading entities in the structure of morbidity. The state of specific functions (gynecologic morbidity, complicated pregnancy and delivery) of female workers and physical development of their children differ greatly from those in control group. Methodic documents and prophylactic recommendations are worked out.
