FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: psychological tests "10 words" by A. Luria and "personality levels and situational anxiety" by Spilgerber-Khanin are carried out to trained workers. Indices of long-term memory and individual anxiety are determined. Then, a discriminant function F is evaluated. The obtained result is compared with the constant, and if F is larger than the constant, the worker is related to a group with early signs of vinyl chloride intoxication, and if F is lower than the constant - to a group without signs of vinyl chloride impact on the organism. If F is equal to the constant the situation is considered indefinite.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to detect early signs of the toxic impact of vinyl chloride with the application of the most informative diagnostic indices and in this way contributes to the reduction of the volume of paraclinic examinations.
