The production of synthetic isoprene rubber (SKI-3) is one of the main branches of the new chemistry. In the literature there is some information about the toxic properties of isoprene, which is the main occupational hazard of this production [1, 2, 3, 4], and there is no data on the hygienic characteristics of working conditions and the state of health of workers in this production [5].
