Inflammation mediators in employees in chronic exposure to neurotoxicants.

Objectives: The aim of this work is to perform comparative estimation of cytokines levels in chlorinated hydrocarbons and metallic mercury exposure in employees in the dynamics of neurologic disorders formation.

Material And Methods: The contents of cytokines IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, TNF-α, INF-Γ were determined in blood sera using the method of hardphasic immunoferment analysis. The significance of different average values was assessed using the parametric and non-parametric criteria - Student (in normal distribution) and Mann-Whitney tests taking into account the Bonferonni correction (non-difference from normal distribution).
