[Current aspects of occupational toxic hemopathies]. 1981

G Perrelli, and U Cisero

Recent advances in the field of occupational toxic haemopathies are described. The nosographical classification of these forms is explained, and an account is given of the main organic and inorganic industrial substances responsible for haematological damage, the sources of risk, the known pathogenetic mechanisms, and the main clinical and morphological aspects of the subject. This question is of a certain current interest, not only from the speculative standpoint, but also with regard to the interesting diagnostic and preventive aspects that are and can be derived from such recent advances.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008670	Metals	Electropositive chemical elements characterized by ductility, malleability, luster, and conductance of heat and electricity. They can replace the hydrogen of an acid and form bases with hydroxyl radicals. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)	Metal
D009281	Naphthalenes	Two-ring crystalline hydrocarbons isolated from coal tar. They are used as intermediates in chemical synthesis, as insect repellents, fungicides, lubricants, preservatives, and, formerly, as topical antiseptics.
