Clinical and functional examination of the upper respiratory tracts (URT) was performed in 240 employees exposed to novel active vinylsulfone dyes at cotton dye works. Those in contact with active dyes developed affections of URT mucosa leading to chronic subatrophic and catarrhal rhinopharyngitis occurring in dye-exposed subjects 3 times more frequently than in the nonexposed. The severity of URT lesions depended on the occupation and length of service. Special tests provided evidence for early harmful action of the dye aerosols on URT in the majority of the examinees.
对棉纺印染厂240名接触新型活性乙烯砜染料的员工进行了上呼吸道（URT）的临床和功能检查。接触活性染料的员工出现了上呼吸道黏膜病变，导致慢性亚萎缩性和卡他性鼻咽炎，接触染料的受试者中出现这种情况的频率比未接触者高3倍。上呼吸道病变的严重程度取决于职业和工作年限。特殊测试证明，在大多数受检者中，染料气溶胶对上呼吸道有早期有害作用。
