Risk assessment of the adverse impact of industrial synthesis of benzodiazepine drugs on human health

Among the occupational and work-related diseases of employees in pharmaceutical industry the leading positions belong to the diseases caused by long-term work under the conditions of relatively low concentrations of hazard substances. The study and evaluation of risks will eliminate or reduce the im...
