[Micronuclear test evaluating cytogenetic effects of occupational radiation in low doses].

The authors compared cytogenetic injuries level among "Radon" staffers subjected and not subjected to occupational radiation. Both groups compared demonstrated no reliable differences in spontaneous frequency of micronuclear cells. Micronuclear analysis showed no dependence of the injuried cells level on duration of work with radioactive substances and on doses of occupational radiation. Finding was significant increase in lymphocytes radiosensitivity in individuals subjected to occupational radiation. This group appeared to contain the staffers with micronuclear cells share more than 2 times exceeding average values.

[Parameters of physical and mental development of children and adolescents residing near enterprise for radioactive waste processing and stationary storage].

Operation of enterprise for radioactive waste processing and disposal does not influence negatively physical and mental development of children and adolescents residing in the area under observation. In some parameters, physical and mental development of children and adolescents residing in the area under observation surpasses that in reference area--that could be due to social and economic peculiarities.

[Children's health in zone of radioactive pollution caused by the Chernobyl accident].

The Chernobyl accident led to contamination of vast territories of Russia by man-made radionuclides. One of such regions is the Tula region. For realization of programs aimed at alleviation of the accident consequences, medical and sanitary measures were taken, including many-year monitoring of radiation pollution in the region and health status of various population groups, primarily children. Complex studies were carried out, making use of radiation, sociohygienic, epidemiological, psychophysiological, anthropometric, clinical laboratory, cytogenetic, immunological, and other methods. Dynamic examinations of children of different age demonstrated that radioactive precipitations at a density of 5-15 Ci/m2 did not directly affect children's health; however essential deviations in the health status, such as changes in morbidity, physical development, and incidence of immunodeficiencies have been revealed. The authors consider that realization of health protection programs should concern primarily children.

[Work and health status of workers of shoe manufacturing industries].

According to work conditions, severity and intensity, the main shoe-making occupations are assigned to III class of I-II jeopardy grade. If new technology applied, the work is assigned to I-II jeopardy class, being optimal--allowable. Increased mortality with liver cancer and lympholeucosis was revealed among workers contacting chloroprene.

[Concerning the article by A.I. Khalepo, A.I, Korbakova, I.V. Sanotskiĭ, I.P. Ulanova, "Hygienic aspects of the regulation of occupational chemicals"].

The authors suggest changing a definition "Maximal allowed concentration of chemical hazard in the air of workplace", that was previously included into the Russian State Standard. Moreover, they support to rename maximal single MACs into the average shift ones. For calculation of maximal single MACs, the authors suggest 3-5 times increase of the average shift ones. According to the authors, an idea is to legalize acceptable risk for the workers' health due to chemical hazards in concentrations equal to the MACs and, actually, to increase the former MACs 3-5 times. Those suggestions seem groundless and divergent with the principles of national hygiene, so are met with disagreement. Such radical changes in hygienic regulation should proceed after consultation with wide hygienic community, occupational pathologists and trade unions.

[Health status and prevention of disorders in people performing intensive visual work].

Electronic industry workers, whose work involves visual strain were examined. The work appeared to be characterized by a plenty of unfavourable factors: high visual and emotional intensity, considerable strain of the locomotor apparatus in supporting a fixed sitting posture. The micromountain workers were exposed to poor ionized and ozonized air conditions combined with high bacterial contamination and lack of the UV rays in the air. Examinees showed markedly changed health and functional status of the main body systems. A complex of hygienic, prophylactic, physiological, technological and medical measures yielded remarkable results. Working conditions of electron industry workers are to be regulated.
