Abstract

This study presents the results of a survey of polyethylene film casting machine operators. A complex of professionally important psychophysiological characteristics was analyzed and a risk assessment for basic pathological symptoms was conducted. It was shown that the mental efficiency and health status in polyethylene casters are suppressed in comparison with control subjects having no contact with the chemical substances.
