- Abstract
The article presents results of the study of mortality rates and causes of a retrospective cohort of workers engaged in a metallurgical plant, affected by different degrees of heating microclimate. The results of the study confirmed statistically verified high mortality risks among those engaged in the labour conditions characterized by the heating microclimate exceeding the admissible levels, as compared with the general male population in the Moscow region, with taking into account mortality from different causes (excepting accidents, traumas and poisonings), and from blood diseases, hypertension, IHD and respiratory diseases.
