M. Šarić ; Institut za medicinska istraživanja i medicinu rada JAZU, Zagreb

Sažetak

In the introduction are briefly reviewed the most important sources of pollution with various toxic agents which may produce adverse health effects either through occupational exposure, dwelling in an environment with polluted atmosphere, through intake of food, drinking water or through the use of various objects. The problem of the biological action of small amounts of some toxic substances which enter the organism by ingestion or Inhalation over a certain period of time is also considered. It is pointed out that in the study of the toxicity of some pollutants attention should be paid to the interaction of various factors, particularly nutrition. Examples are given which prove that the fetus and child are specially vulnerable to the toxic action of environmental pollutants. In the end are quoted priority proposals for the setting up of health criteria and recommendations for further research.
