| Abstract | Atmospheric air around the plant was found to be considerably polluted by sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ammonia. The initial level of damage to adaptive reactions, the presence of stressed protective-compensatory body mechanisms, disturbance of mineral metabolism and oxidation-reduction processes, and changes in the blood picture and in the immuno-biological state are established. The polluted atmospheric air around the plant has a specific, unpleasant, smell with adverse effects on ventilating homes, and causes subjective complaints by some of the population. The study has resulted in the adoption of a preventive program designed to improve the sanitation conditions of atmospheric air around the plant. |
