[The health status of workers in the production of compounds of nitrogen group (literature review)].

In the literature there are reported data about working conditions, health status of workers in the production of nitrogen group compounds (ammonia, nitric acid, urea, ammonium nitrate), as well as research of the impact of harmful factors of the production on the body in the experiment. Unsatisfactory working conditions are associated with an occupational hazard for health of workers and can lead to professional and work-related diseases. Despite a significant number of published studies, the mechanism of the toxic effect of the compounds of nitrogen group on the gastrointestinal tract of workers is not fully studied. There is a lack of data on the degree of the relationship of digestive disorders, including peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer with the work on the such production. There is little scientific evidence about the clinical uniqueness of ulcer disease in workers exposed to compounds of nitrogen group, as well as information on the dietary prevention of the occurrence and development of the disease.
