Abstract

The exposure of the organism in an environment contaminated with
heavy metals, is associated with many diseases, transient changes in the
respiratory tract, lung function deteriorated, visits to emergency care and
hospitalization.
The results of the research, conducted with miners working in ,,Sasa’’
the mine of lead-zinc ore, were focused towards validation of existing
professional risk.
Most affected are the miners working jobs like mining, drilling head and
ore („krupicari“),what was verified by analysis of the acute symptoms, for
which we proved that are much more signified during the working ship of
these jobs.
According to the time of exposure, with the workers in the experimental
group, we found that the most spread is the working service of exposure from
1 to 5 years working at the same place, indicating that also a short span of
exposure can be dangerous for some organs, depending the individual
hypersensitivity to the organism itself.
The most common lung diseases in exposed workers are: chronic bronchitis
and tracheitis,chronic obstructive lung disease, pneumoconiosis and silicosis.
Considering the harmful effect of lead on respiratory, hematopoietic, kidney
and nervous system, we can rightfully say that it is a question of so called
,,silent killer’’.
