High frequency of risk factors for origination of chronic bronchitis resulted in a striking growth of its prevalence among miners. Employment of the system of medical and social prophylaxis, especially during the stages of evolution of the malady, involving automatic diagnosis and prognostication, correction of immune disorders, recommendations toward adapting work to suit miners and assigning them to jobs for which they are suited--all this makes for reducing morbidity, permits saving the man-power resources making possible a rational distribution thereof among mining enterprises, which facts enable a substantial social and economic effect to be achieved.
