  • Title: [Current hygiene problems and main risk factors in wool industry].
    Author: Manuĭlenko IuI.
    Journal: Gig Tr Prof Zabol; 1990; (6):19-23. PubMed ID: 2394398.
    Abstract:
    The labour conditions of the workers engaged in raw wool manufacturing are characterized by irrational management of the technological processing, inadequate labour and rehabilitation regimen, nutrition, organization of social and medical services for those engaged in shearing, as well as by incompatibility of the industrial sites to the existing hygienic and technological requirements. All this accounts for the high relevance of respiratory diseases (42%), and inflammatory and allergic diseases of the skin and subcutaneous fat, which are etiologically related to wool dust's action. The contributors propose newly elaborated hygienic recommendations and occupational health related standards designed to promote prevention of these diseases and elimination of industrial risk-factors.
