ABSTRACT
Purpose of the research is to provide a hygienic assessment of working conditions at aluminum plants equipped with Central working prebaked (CWPB) cells operating at currents of 330 kA. The studies have indicated that the leading occupational exposures, the levels of which exceed the national standards, are: fluorine compound in the air of work area; unfavorable microclimate, constant magnetic field, the severity of the labour. According to the general hygienic assessment, with account of combined influence harmful occupational factors, the working conditions are attributed to 1-2 degrees of the 3 class of harmful working conditions, that conform to the small (moderate) and significant occupational risk.

The radioactive radiation of the inhabitants of the town of Kamensk-Uralsky, Sverdlovsk Region, was studied for its impact on the health of their descendants. The radiation of parents was found to be a risk factor for increasing the high incidence of frequent respiratory diseases of their children. The dietary deficiency of vitamins in children and other factors are also causes of frequent respiratory diseases.

The functional change index was calculated to assess the strain of adaptative mechanisms in inhabitants on the Techa river polluted with radioactive waste. Radiation was shown to have an impact on the strain of adaptative mechanisms, but the degree of this impact was moderate.
