255 workers processing polyvinyl chloride were examined. All of them underwent spirometric and polycardiographic tests and determination of phagocytic activity of granulocytes, the level of serum albumins and its fractions, and the level of immunoglobulins--IgA, IgG and IgM. The results were compared with the data from healthy non-exposed subjects. It was found that hazards resulting from polyvinyl chloride processing induce slight disturbances in lungs ventilating capacity and inhibit phagocytic activity of granulocytes.
