  • Title: [Working conditions and occupational pathology in electrolytic nickel refinery workers].
    Author: Siurin SA, Burakova OA.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2012; (2):30-3. PubMed ID: 22834262.
    Abstract:
    The working conditions during electrolytic nickel refinery correspond to Class 3, Grade 3-4, which may give rise to health problems in workers of all occupations employed in this production. Their risk and prevalence are significantly higher in the most exposed occupational group, such as electrolysis workers (40.1% of all cases). The structure of occupational diseases is dominated by respiratory diseases (68.8%), mainly due to exposure to aerosols of nickel compounds. It is concluded that working conditions and medical prevention interventions should be improved for this group of workers.
