New data in theory of dust disease after action of mullit

Investigations concerning peculiarities of working conditions, professional chronical dust pathology of lungs, confirmed by the results of acute and chronical experiment on molecular, cellular and organ levels and also by the data ofthermodynamic test of possibility of decomposition of acting substance -mullit on components oxides and radicals, give grounds for making a supposition about availability of specific mechanism of development of chronical pathology of lungs for workers under influence of mullit dust. During the process of researches regulation of kaolin and mullit has been carried out, the scheme of treatment and preventive measures of the pathology was worked out.

Thus, decoding of physicochemical and thermodynamic characteristics of mullit and peculiarities of its citotoxic, fibrogenic and genotoxicological influence in experiment give us grounds to regard dust disease of lungs under dust mullit effect as one of the new forms of chronic pathology of lungs - mullitoz.
