The study included measurements of electromagnetic radiation emitted by MACINTOSH PC placed in public schools, functional state examination of schoolchildren sitting in rows in front of PCs. Electromagnetic radiation emitted by PCs appeared to harm higher nervous activity of the schoolchildren. With consideration of the studies conducted the recommendation is not to set workplaces in rows. The workplaces could be set perimetrically, with at least 1.0 m between the lateral borders of neighboring monitors. Angle-wise set workplaces should stay at least 2.0 m apart.

Various kinds of works of 6-11th-form schoolchildren on Macintosh computers were physiologically and hygienically assessed at the lesson of information science and computer engineering (ISCE), as well as typing. The fatigue of a visual analyzer was due to the time of looking through the data available on the display; the adverse changes of the higher nervous activity depends on the complexity of educational materials and the intensity of work on a computer. Three-hour studies in ISCE should be excluded from the time able of lessons as they do not meet hygienic requirements.

Psychophysiologic studies covered 10th grade pupils with normal and short sight, who worked at IBM PS/2(VGA) during summer. If compared to normal-sighted ones, the shortsighted pupils demonstrated drastic functional changes. The studies set optimal duration of work at the PS-2 hours or no more than 3 hours with obligatory prophylaxis.

Psychologic and hygienic examination of students working on display calculating complexes (DCC) DCC-2 and DCC-3 during the extra study time revealed the features of their functional status caused by the DCC design and work schedule. Positive role of eye exercises during the work was stressed. 6-hours duration of students' work was considered as unfavourable. The duration of work must be reduced to 3 hours, prophylactic measures (eye and physical exercises) are to be added.

Proceeding from the studies on the conditions of schoolchildren's work with video terminals during school lessons there was developed a complex of hygienic measures aimed at reduction of impact of factors specified by the work with video terminals and by anthropogenic pollution. Requirements to design of classrooms equipped by video terminals were listed and optimal and permissible ergonomic characteristics of the workplace established along with air temperature and humidity.
