Health State and Hormone Status Among Residents of Kizner Respectively Working and Not-working at Arsenal of Chemical Weapons

Abstract

The relation between the possible influence of the arsenal of chemical weapons and health state and hormone status (thyrotropic, thyroxin, triiodtyronin, adrenocorticotrophic, hydrocortisone) among residents of Kizner both working and not-working at the arsenal of chemical weapons was established. Thus, the trend for emotional stress was determined for the people working at the arsenal of chemical weapons. The level of anxiety was higher for people working at the arsenal (40.67±0.96) in comparison with the people who did not work at the arsenal (39.71±1.00), mostly for men. © 2006 Springer.
