    Abstract:
    Out of 162 workers exposed to chemicals in the manufacture of construction plastics an outpatient and inpatient examination revealed gastrointestinal problems in 84.3%, vegetative nervous disorders in 62.6% of the examinees. In a random sample of 47 workers high acid production occurred in 63.3% and erosions, ulcers, cicatrices in the stomach and duodenum in 45.2% of them. No HLA genetic predisposition to duodenal ulcer was reported. Histological findings on gastroduodenal mucosa biopsies were indicative of the dystrophy in the chief and lining cells of the gastric glands, epithelium and stroma with formation of the dark cells. The authors insist on consideration of the above facts in examination and treatment of workers exposed to chemicals at construction plastics plants.
