Sustainable socio-economic development of any country depends on the state of its labor resources, the quality of which is determined by the number and level of health of the working-age population. The current stage of development of society is characterized by the need to increase the efficiency of agriculture. An important role in the implementation of this task belongs to greenhouses.
Purpose. To investigate the hematological indices in greenhouse workers and determine their significance as early signs of the destabilization of homeostasis and the development of occupational diseases.
Material and methods. In the present work, laboratory studies were conducted on greenhouse workers.
Results. A routine laboratory examination of workers in the greenhouse economy was found to show abnormalities in the blood system. The average hemoglobin level in the main group was 106.00 ± 9.04 g/l. White blood changes in the form of neutrophilic leukocytosis were detected in 8.82 ± 3.46%, lymphocytosis in 39.71 ± 5.98%, eosinophilia in 14.71 ± 4.33% of all examined individuals of the main group.
Discussion. Significant changes were revealed to be depending on the duration of exposure to adverse factors and manifested by the formation of an anemic syndrome, lymphocytosis, increased allergization, severe thrombocytopenia.
Conclusion. The results obtained can serve as one of the criteria for the early diagnosis of chronic intoxication.
