[The organization of individual human protection in emergencies]. / Organizatsiia individual'noi zashchity cheloveka pri chrezvychainykh situatsiiakh.

Individual protection should be considered as a unity of organizational, social, medical, ergonomic and technical measures. The authors characterize all components of the unity.

[Means of individual protection in cleaning-up consequences of accidents at chemical industries]. / Sredstva individual'noi zashchity pri likvidatsii posledstvii avarii na khimicheskikh predpriiatiiakh.

The authors considered protective efficiency and physiologic acceptability to compare various types of individual protective means applied in some industries. The article presents general principles and methodic approaches to use of various individual protective means for eyes and respiratory organs. The important notion is that besides individual protective means also pharmacologic agents, various norms and regulations (MAC) should be used to protect humans from chemical hazards. Some revealed common features for chemical enterprises could serve to forecast occupational diseases and therefore determine individual protective means for respiratory organs and define the application of those means. To make quick and correct choice of the individual protective means for respiratory organs during accidents at chemical enterprises, one should refer to PC data bases.

[Experimental rationale for the use of drugs to increase the resistance of the human body to the combined action of carbon monoxide and hyperthermia]. / Eksperimental'noe obosnovanie primeneniia farmakologicheskikh preparatov dlia povysheniia ustoichivosti organizma cheloveka k sochetannomu vozdeistviiu oksida ugleroda i gipertermii.

A group of volunteers was exposed to coaction of carbon dioxide (concentration 300 mg/cu m) and heating microclimate (ambient temperature +50 +/- 2 degrees C, relative humidity 20 +/- 5%), simultaneously they received one of the medicines: placebo, bemitil (0.5 g), bromantane (0.25 g) or bemitil (0.5 g) combined with bromantane (0.25 g). Bromantane (0.25 g) or bemitil (0.5 g) combined with bromantane (0.25 g) were proved to be the most effective method to increase stability of the human body against co-action of carbon dioxide and heating microclimate.

[Utilization of individual protective devices with autonomic air supply for work with hazardous materials ]. / Primenenie sredstv individualnoi zashchity s avtonomnymi istochnikami vozdukhosnabzheniia dla raboty s vrednymi veshchestvami.

An application of individual protective means (IPM) with the autonomic air supply has considerable promise for protecting respiratory organs and eyes in hazardous conditions. The main advantage of such devices is that the respiratory zone has the forced supply with the cleansed air. Biophysical studies showed that such IPM don't harm the functional status and capacity for work in human doing the medium-difficult physical work during 8 hours and can be recommended for the application in mines.

[Individual protection aids for saving people during a fire]. / Sredstva individual'noi zashchity dlia spaseniia liudei vo vremia pozhara.

All existing individual protective means can not be applied to the life saving and the mall evacuation of people from fire due to their technical complexity and inadequate protective efficiency. The research work carried out by the authors served to produce a crucially new type of physiologically acceptable individual protective means against burning products and high environmental temperature.

[Use of bemitil for increasing the resistance of the human body to combined effects of carbon monoxide and heating microclimate]. / Ispol'zovanie bemitila dlia povysheniia ustoichivosti organizma cheloveka k sochetannomu vozdeistviiu oksida ugleroda i nagreva- iushchego mikroklimata

Basing on experimental data, it was established that single administration of 0.5 mg bemitil increased human resistance to carbon oxide in concentration 300 mg/m3. The use of bemitil optimized human body state in the conditions of the complex influence of carbon oxide and extreme heating microclimate.

[Quantitative evaluation of combined effects of carbon monoxide, toluene and hot microclimate on humans]. / Kolichestvennaia otsenka sochetannogo deistviia na organizm cheloveka oksida ugleroda, toluola i nagrevaiushchego mikroklimata.

As a result of the proposed study it was established that a complex action of carbon oxide and toluene++ in 300 mg/m3 concentration in a combination with heating microclimate (leading to a maximum heat labour condition) results in an increased total biological effect. The coefficient to the complex action of carbon oxide and heating microclimate is equal to 2.5 and toluene++ and heating microclimate to 1.9. These coefficients should be taken into account in establishing hygienic norms for the chemical compounds.

[Effects of carbon monoxide and ammonia on a person wearing protective clothing]. / Vliianie okisi ugleroda i ammiaka na organizm cheloveka, naknodiashchegosia v izoliruiushchikh sredstvakh individual'noi zashchity.

Experiments were performed to study the effect of carbon monoxide and ammonia on man wearing a protective suit. It was found that hypobaric oxygenation produced a modifying effect on the level of intoxication with these compounds. It is recommended to take into consideration specific environmental effects when standardizing concentrations of toxic components inside individual protection systems.

[Probability of the occurrence of altitude decompression disorders from breathing oxygen containing the gaseous products of human vital activities]. / Veroiatnost' vozniknoveniia vysotno-dekompressionnykh rasstroistv pri dykhanii kislorodom, soderzhashchim gazoobraznye produkty zhiznedeiatel'-nosti cheloveka.

Probability of altitude decompression disease in a hypobaric oxygen environment containing gaseous human wastes has been explored. The development of the disease does not depend on the presence of wastes in the environment. Its frequency increases with exercises. The decrease of the barometric pressure to 308 mm Hg causes decompression disease only in the test subjects having traumatized limbs. The frequency of the disease during further decrease in the pressure down to 198 mm Hg increases substantially.
