[Level of total cholesterol and triglycerides in blood of workers involved in production of ferromanganese alloys].

In the serum of steel mill workers exposed to manganese, iron, chromates, ultraviolet radiation and noise, levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides were determined. In workers under study only increased level of triglycerides was found in comparison with the control group.
