Carbon black is a commercial product manufactured under controlled conditions. It is not considered as a carcinogenic substance. It is even assumed that it reduces considerably carcinogenesis of substances adsorbed on its surface. The aim of the study was to present the condition of the respiratory system of workers involved in the carbon black production. The study covered the group of exposed persons (n = 118) and the control group (n = 241). The results of environmental studies indicated excess of dust MAC values at work posts. It was concluded that exposure to carbon black was harmful to health of workers employed in its production, especially in the case of a long-term exposure to dust in concentrations exceeding MACs. Chronic bronchitis and ventilation disturbances occur more frequently in persons exposed, and smoking proved to be an additional pathogenic factor affecting health of this group of workers.
炭黑是在可控条件下生产的商业产品。它不被视为致癌物质。甚至有人认为它能显著降低吸附在其表面的物质的致癌性。该研究的目的是呈现炭黑生产工人的呼吸系统状况。该研究涵盖了暴露组（n = 118）和对照组（n = 241）。环境研究结果表明工作岗位处粉尘最高容许浓度超标。得出的结论是，接触炭黑对其生产过程中受雇工人的健康有害，尤其是长期接触浓度超过最高容许浓度的粉尘的情况。暴露人群中慢性支气管炎和通气障碍更为常见，吸烟被证明是影响这组工人健康的另一致病因素。
