This paper presents the results of research of the state of immune system in glass factory workers exposured to lead. The blood lead level in examined persons was higher than the available values by the biomonitoring data. Persons with a diagnosis of chronic lead intoxication (Pb — 0.59±0.07 mg/1) had significant disorders of cellular and humoral immunity which correla¬ted with the lead concentration in blood. Workers with lead content in blood of 0.44±0.08 mg/1 and without signs of intoxi¬cation had similar changes by direction, but less expressive.

Key words: immune system, lead, intoxication
