[Cardiovascular diseases in exposure to the saltpeter acid ester ethylene glycol dinitrate].

Abstract

By means of the establishment of constituents of explosives on the basis of the measuring technique the exposition intensity to ethylene glycol dinitrate in the mining industry could be recognized. By comprehensive clinical and paraclinical differential-diagnostic examinations as a consequence of this haemodynamically greatly effective exposition manifest disturbances of the cardiac rhythm were objectified in 8 workers and acknowledged as occupational disease Nr. 27.
