[The comprehensive approach to ensure the quality of forensic medical examination of a cadaver].

The objective of the present work was to estimate the effectiveness of the comprehensive monitoring system designed to enhance the quality of forensic medical expertise for determining the cause of death in the hanging cases. It was shown that the practical application of the algorithmization and automated quality control system improves the effectiveness of forensic medical examination of the cadavers in the hanging cases. The system performs the control, directing, and teaching functions. Moreover, it allows to estimate the completeness of the examination of the cadaver.

[Impact of ambient air pollution on the prevalence of main symptoms of asthma in children].

The impact of ambient air pollution on the prevalence of main symptoms of asthma was analyzed in children. A total of 3,506 children were interviewed using the ISAAC questionnaire. The prevalence of the abnormality was studied via continuous questioning in children aged 7-8 and 13-14 years, who lived in areas with varying aerogenic loads. The higher rates of main asthma-like symptoms and clinically diagnosed asthma were ascertained in the children living in higher ambient air pollution areas.

In chronic experiment in rats pro for show, what of food biologically active "Rekitsen-RD", promotes increase of efficiency of mechanisms of detoxication, antioxidant activity and immune protection of an organism.

[Environmental hygiene and comprehensive processing of copper sulphate ore]. / Voprosy gigieny okruzhaiushchei sredy pri kompleksnoi pererabotke mednosul'fidnykh rud.

The modern comprehensive processing of copper-sulphate ores is based on using the fire, chemical and combined fire-and-hydrometallurgy processes. The existing schemes of comprehensive ore processing do not provide for a total utilization of the metallurgical cycles wastes due to the inherent technological and design shortcomings; besides, they are a source of environmental pollution. Contamination of the atmospheric air with discharge elements has unfavorable effects on the health condition of population; it worsens the natural body resistance and contributes (through the induction of chromosome aberrations) to a higher general morbidity and mortality due to malignant neoplasms. Health-improve measures are supported by modern achievements in the sphere of copper-sulphate ore processing technologies--they ensure the hygienic and ecological rational management and usage at all stages of the processing of raw materials and secondary products. Institutions of the territorial medical-and-ecological monitoring are the corner stones for ecological safety of persons residing in areas of comprehensive copper-and-sulphate ore processing.

[The hygienic characterization of atmospheric pollution and indices of the health status of females and children under metal processing of naturally alloyed ores]. / Gigienicheskaia kharakteristika zagriazneniia atmosfery i pokazatelei sostoianiia zdorov'ia zhenskogo i detskogo naseleniia pri metallurgicheskoi pererabotke prirodno-legirovannykh rud.

The agglocoking blast-furnace processing of naturally alloyed ores gives rise higher volumes of dust and gas wastes which on air dispersal yield to higher concentrations of air pollution with dust, sulfur-containing substances, as well as compounds of carbon monoxide, phenol, and ammonia than that of magnetic iron ore, which yields a higher prevalence of comparable forms or reproductive disorders in women and higher general morbidity in children.

[Hygienic assessment of primary metallurgic processing of natural alloy ores]. / Gigienicheskaia otsenka pervichnoi metallurgicheskoi pererabotki prirodno-legirovannykh rud.

The working conditions for primary metallurgic processing of naturally alloyed ores differ from those for processing magnetic iron ores in high moisture, high concentrations of CO, SO2, aerosols of Si and Cr oxides. All these factors cause high incidence rates of chronic pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases in the workers. Naturally alloyed ores produce a greater pulmonary fibrogenic action than do magnetic iron ones.

Natural alloy ores contribute to specific pollution of the industrial environment in the blast-furnace department. The latter is characterized by elevated humidity and SO2, the higher incidence of blood circulatory disorders among the workers.

[Assessment of total mutagenic activity of harmful factors of the industrial environment at the metallurgy plants of South Ural]. / Otsenka summarnoi mutagennoi aktivnosti vrednykh faktorov proizvodstvennoi sredy na metallurgicheskikh predpriiatiiakh Iuzhnogo Urala.

Harmful factors of the industrial environment of the steel plants are represented by sulfur- and arsenic-containing compounds, nitrogen and carbon oxides, aerosols of heavy and rare metals, fluorine compounds whose concentrations exceed the maximum allowable ones in the air of the working place. The results of the cytogenetic examination of metallurgists attest to the pronounced total mutagenic activity of unfavourable factors of the industrial environment, among which the key role is played by arsenic, fluorine and heavy metal compounds.
