ОПЫТ ОЦЕНКИ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОГО РИСКА, СВЯЗАННОГО С ВОЗДЕЙСТВИЕМ ПРОМЫШЛЕННЫХ АЭРОЗОЛЕЙ, В УСЛОВИЯХ МОДЕРНИЗАЦИИ МЕТАЛЛУРГИЧЕСКОГО ПРЕДПРИЯТИЯ

The paper presents the assessment results of occupational risk associated with exposure to industrial aerosols, according to hygienic and clinical criteria of workers in metallurgical production modernized sections. Occupational risk, depending on the working conditions in the professions studied, is categorized from small to very high one.
