Chlorleukosis

Chlorleukosis is a group of blood diseases that are caused by exposure of the human body to chemicals, in particular organochlorine compounds. The following diseases fall into this category:

1. Chlorosarcoma is a malignant connective tissue tumor that develops from sarcoma cells.

2. Chronic lympholeukosis (CLL) is a chronic blood disease in which there is an increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood and damage to the bone marrow.

3. Myeloleukosis is a group of acute and chronic blood diseases associated with an increase in the number of leukocytes and impaired maturation.

4. Chloroplacental syndrome is a disease associated with exposure of the fetus to organochlorine substances contained in the environment.

5. Chlormycosis is a skin disease caused by pathogenic fungi that are sensitive to organochlorine compounds.

6. Chlorerythromyelosis (CEM) is a rare blood disease that is characterized by an increase in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as the appearance of red blood cells with an abnormal structure in the blood.

7. Chlorophyllinosis is an allergic disease that occurs upon contact with certain substances containing chlorophyllin.

8. Chloromethyl ethyl ether (CME) is a toxic substance that can cause poisoning in humans and animals.

9. Chlorine monoxide (ClO) is a poisonous gas that is used as an oxidizing agent in some chemical reactions.

Chloroleukemia is a malignant neoplasm of the bone marrow that occurs as a result of mutation of red bone marrow cells (proliferating precursors of hematopoiesis) and leads to the appearance of tumor areas in the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, liver and other organs. The disease can have varying degrees of severity and develop as acute leukemia or chronic leukemia.

As for the term "chlorleukemia", it has a dual origin. First, the words "chromate" and "chrilla" (chlorine) are Greek terms for green dye. Probably chlorophyll, which is a green pigment
