Popis:	In 43 from 222 men (19.4%) employed in a coking plant a higher than normal concentration of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) was found, whereas an elevated level of HbF was detected in only two from 87 persons (2.3%) working in the cold rolling mill of the steel mill ‘Huta Sendzimira’, Krakow, Poland. Subjects employed in the coking mill worked in a much more polluted atmosphere than those in the cold rolling mill. It is speculated that synthesis of HbF may be a marker of the effect of unfavorable working conditions on some susceptible persons.
