Abstract
The specific features of working conditions in greenhouses were studied and related to the health status of greenhouse workers. A higher level of morbidity with temporary disability in female greenhpuse workers, as compared with women engaged in outdoor vegetable growing, was established. The effect of working conditions in greenhouses on the development of functional disorders in the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, on respiration, as well as the effect on blood morphology, activity of specific liver enzymes, cholinesterase (ChE) and some indices of lipid metabolism was studied in female greenhouse workers. The results showed the need for a selective use of pesticides in greenhouses, taking health considerations into account, as well as for a thorough medical surveillance of workers.
