[Hygienic assessment of the radiation risk of radon emanation in the Altai Krai].

The unique climatic and geographical location of the Altai Krai determines the specific radiation dose load for the population, which is composed of the complex of radiological indices, the structure of which is largely dependent on the type of locality and, to a greater extent due to the action of radon, which is currently the main source of internal radiation of the population of upland districts and adjacent territories. There was performed a hygienic assessment of the radiation risk and the expected decline in life expectancy and population health due to radon exposure in the model areas of the Altai Krai. To calculate the additional risk there were used some models for radiation risk extrapolation: a risk constant model, model GSF (Jacobi's model), Lubin model (TSE/AGE/WL) and BEIR VI model for smoking and nonsmoking population, as well as the combined model. The lowest values of the radiation risk and the expected decline in life expectancy are typical for Charyshsko-Ust-Kalmanskaya zone, the maximum--for Kuryinsko--Pospelikhinskaya zone.

[Hygienic regional monitoring of work conditions as a component of social and hygienic monitoring in region of Russian Federation].

The author justified hygienic monitoring of work conditions as a system of scientific and practical knowledge to rank enterprises within an agricultural region according to level of exposure to occupational hazards, to minimize occupational risks. Topicality of the problem lies in defining cause-effect relationships between working environment factors and workers' health in the region of Russian Federation.

[Radiation hygiene studies of the health status of the Altai Territory population]. / Radiatsionno-gigienicheskie issledovaniia sostoianiia zdorov'ia naseleniia Altaiskogo kraia.

The regional problems of radiation hygiene are discussed. Multileveled regulation and classification of EED from artificial and natural sources of ionizing radiation for the Altai Territory are elaborated. Data on other sources of the radiation are also dealt with.

[Integral-probability assessment of development of occupational diseases using Bayes' formula in building-land improvement and car repair industry]. / Integral'no-veroiatnostnaia otsenka vozniknoveniia profpatologii s pomoshch'iu formuly Baiesa pri stroitel'no-meliorativnykh i avtoremonthnykh rabotakh.

Integral probability technique used for the assessment of occupational diseases facilitated the evaluation of variability in the parameters of unfavorable industrial factors, as well as their complex action, the occupational pathologic developments "probability and risk groups identification. The technique proved valuable in charting the priority list of hygienic and health improvement measures to prevent the hazardous factors" influence depending on their probability indices.
