[Evaluating risk of morbidity among workers of coal open-cast mines in Kuzbass].

Work conditions on open-cast minest of Kuzbass include complex of unfavorable natural climate, mining technical occupational factors (microclimate, industrial noise, vibration, aerosols, toxic chemicals, hardiness and intensity of work). According to those occupational factors, the authors calculated risks of morbidity and safe length of service.

[Evaluating health risk for workers due to polluted air in auxiliary workshops of heat power stations].

The authors evaluated health risk for workers of auxiliary workshops in heat power stations by workplace air,caused by workplace air pollution with solid particles, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, phenol, carbon oxide, benzpyrene. This evaluation was a part of longstanding research designing measures to optimize work conditions. Kuznetsk heat power station served as an example to calculate mean air concentrations of chemicals, yearly individual risk of chronic intoxication, to determine contribution of each individual chemical into the overall risk, to assess individual risk due to benzpyrene inhalation.

[The complex evaluation of risk factors at the thermoelectric power stations in Southern Kuzbass]. / O kompleksnoi otsenke faktorov riska na teplovykh élektrostantsiiakh iuga Kuzbassa.

The authors conducted complex evaluation of health risk factors for heat power stations workers--that was a result of long studies specifying measures to optimize work conditions. The calculations covered the factors' biologic doses and critical length of service for various probabilities of occupational diseases.

[The evaluation of risk factors for occupational diseases of miners in coal mines]. / Gigienicheskaia otsenka riska narusheniia zdorov'ia shakhterov ugol'nykh razrezov.

The article deals with hygienic evaluation of work conditions for open cast coal miners in Kouzbass. Based on the evaluation, the authors calculated occupational morbidity risk due to noise, local vibration, dust exposure. An occupational diseases index and hygienic criteria helped to specify general characteristics of occupational risk, measures of prophylaxis and social security for the main occupational groups of open cast coal miners in Kouzbass.
