“…Carcinoma of the esophagus appears in animals treated with nitrosamines, 15,18,19 but the same degree of organotrophy found in the case of other organs such as colon and kidney 15,21 has not been demonstrated for esophagus. Much speculation is contained in the medical literature concerning substances in the diet or environment which may cause a high incidence of the disease.…”

“…This patient was followed up for 10 years; he worked first in a section where vinyl chloride was obtained from acetylene and then for 6 months in a section where vinyl chloride was obtained from dichloromethane. Hepatomegaly, Raynaud's syndrome 6 Hepatomegaly, Raynaud's syndrome, dermatitis 1 Hepatomegaly, arterial hypertension 4 Hepatomegaly, splenomegaly 10 Hepatornegajy, polyneuritis 1 Hepatomegaly, anemia 1 Prodan and co-worker?' showed experimentally that animals intermittently exposed to vinyl chloride recover, and even may gain, body weight more rapidly than those exposed continuously.…”

As civilization developed, man passed through the Stone Age, the Iron Age, and the Bronze Age. Now we are living in the Plastics Age.As supplies of iron, copper, lead, and other metals decrease, they are replaced mostly by plastics. The conquest of space and Mount Everest, the rapid development of industry, and the higher standard of hygiene and clothing would not have been possible without the development of the plastics industry.Plastics are obtained from salt, petroleum, wood, methane, gas, quartz, etc. Because our country possessed these raw materials, the plastics industry was developed and large plants were built.Simultaneously with the development of the plastics industry, studies for observing the health status of workers exposed to the new chemicals were initiated. There has been a rapid increase in the number of chemicals used, and we do not yet know all the adverse effects of these new chemicals. Some substances cause diseases in man which cannot be reproduced in animals, such as, arterial hypertension, Raynaud's phenomenon, scleroderma, and gastricduodenal ulcer, and unfortunately, when animals are exposed to toxic substances, they cannot describe the onset and evolution of the disease.Plastics, as finished articles, are considered generally harmless. The problem is, to what extent do the monomers or substances used in the chemical industry determine acute or chronic effects in the human organism.
