ABSTRACT
The article presents an original approach to evaluation of climate and weather according to their influence of human heat state. Use of the approach is accompanied by climate characteristics of some Transpolar cities, the authors discuss application of those characteristics to solution of hygienic problems.

Article deals with problems of hygienic evaluation of work conditions as a part of complex hygienic characteristics concerning the intensity and difficulty of work. The system of evaluation was suggested by I.S.Kandror in 60-s and developed by different authors. Studied variant of complex hygienic characteristics contains some new elements and requires further discussion.

A study was made of energy losses in the assemblers engaged in the construction of a railway bridge. It was established that daily energy losses in this vocational group did not exceed 2900 kcal. Basing on the data obtained the authors calculated the requirements of the assemblers for the main foods, vitamins and mineral elements.

Basing on the study of the daily time and energy metabolism budgets in various types of production and non-production activities it has been established that in summer the daily energy consumption in the drivers of mechanized columns amounts to not more than 3200 kcal, being equal to 3500 kcal in winter. These data form the basis of the determination of energy and food requirements of the group of workers under consideration.

Energy requirements for the tunnel drivers have been established as following: of borers 3062 kcal, operators of the rock loader pnb-3K 3114 kcal, of drivers during drilling bore holes by manual perforator, installation of anchors and nets--3147 kcal, auxillary workers of the rock loader pnb-3K 3267 kcal, of drifters during rock and face cleansing-3540 kcal. According to these data recommendations for energy and food requirements for the above occupational groups have been developed.

Indirect calorimetry and time studies showed the diurnal energy expenditure in wood fellers to be 5186.2, in their helpers--4476.9 and in branch choppers--5246.9 kcalories. In accordance with these energy expenditures requirements of the mentioned category of workers in energy, nutrients and other essential nutritional factors have been elaborated. Recommendations for organization of nutrition in the field are given.
