[The energy status of erythrocytes upon exposure to chemical pollutants].

The paper gives the results of a study of energy metabolism in the red blood cells of the workers from OAO "Salavatnefteorgsinthez" of petrochemical industry. The energy metabolism has been found to substantially change in the examinees in contact with a mixture of organic solvents and a mixture of chlorinated solvents under industrial conditions.

[Metabolic processes in the body exposed to chemical pollutants].

The paper gives the results of studying the processes of free radical and microsomal oxidation, antioxidant defense, and energy and electrolyte metabolism in the workers of OAO "Salavatnefteorgsintez", one of the leading petrochemical plants in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The metabolic processes have been found to substantially change in the persons contacting a mixture of chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons under industrial conditions.

[Free radical oxidation-antioxidant defense system upon exposure to industrial chemical pollutants].

The paper gives the results of studying the free radical oxidation-antioxidant defense (FRO-AOD) system in the blood, saliva, and urine of workers from the petrochemical industry OAO "Salavatnefteorgsintez". The FRO-AOD system has been ascertained to be considerably changed in the plasma, tear, and urine of persons contacting a mixture of petrol and Grade BP-1 solvent with organic solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons and a mixture of 1,2-dichloroethane with chlorinated hydrocarbons under industrial conditions.
