Abstract
- Studies of mortality among 3588 workers who contacted variable doses of methylmetacrilate (MMA) revealed that higher intensity of the exposure led to increased risk of death with lung and colon cancer. Immune state studies in 157 workers proved significant immune disorders due to MMA levels several times exceeding the MAC. Experiments evaluating immune functions under exposure to MMA levels equal to or under the MAC demonstrated mostly adaptational changes.
