A program of medical examination of the effect of air pollution by carbon disulfide

: For investigating the effect of emissions of the cellulose and rayon silk production on the health state of selected groups of the population as part of an epidemiological cross sectional study on 9-year old school children a medical examination programme with emphasis to the following 5 points--psychological examination, clinical-chemical investigations, lung function analysis, actual state, anamnestic inquiry--has been developed. The programme has been successfully tested in 660 specifically exposed and non-exposed children, respectively. Hitherto performed part evaluations of the mentioned 5 points confirm the correctness of the broadly constructed study.
