HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Red blood cells of miners employed in deep uranium mines were hemolyzed in hypertonic propylene glycol solution. Initially, the hemolysis rate successively declines until the 5th yr of work in the profession. Thereafter the decline slows down successively to a slight extent (yet unsignificantly until the 10th yr of work) to remain subsequently unchanged. Hemolysis remains constantly changed at a significant level. The peak of change in the red blood cell hemolysis rate in propylene glycol is in agreement with the peaks of change occurring during hemolysis in alkaline buffer solution, the content of polarographically active SH-substances in the hemolysate, the Hb content in the stromas and the rate of conversion of met-Hb to Hb in red blood cell suspensions.
