In the production of cross-linked polyethylene in the air of the working environment above the norm concentrations of acetophenon, dicumyl peroxide and antioxidant are established, which create unfavourable working conditions. During clinical and laboratory examinations of 55 workers, engaged in the production of cross-linked polyethylene, are registered subjective complaints from the irritating effect of the chemical noxae on the mucous membranes and skin. Methaemoglobinaemia is found in 4 workers. There are deviations in the functional state of the liver (transaminase, APh, GGTP and triglycerides) in the group "maintaining staff". The same workers have also increased quantity of metabolite hippuric acid in the urine. On the grounds of the results, the group "maintaining staff" is determined as risk group. Recommendations are made for follow-up care and work in controlled parameters of the working environment.
