The suggestions also are methodical approaches to unified method for classification of household and industrial waste, which take into account the particularly dangerous properties of individual components of waste — carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reprotoxicity — and categorize waste into 5 classes. Preliminary calculations of jeopardy classes for an enterprise waste were carried out and additional economic costs of a large enterprise are analyzed with a new technique introduction. It is shown that for about 10% of waste types the jeopardy class will increase. An economic entity will need funds for special preparation of temporary waste storage sites with a higher jeopardy class. Environmental charges for negative environmental impact are increasing. To increase objectivity of accounting hazardous properties of waste, necessity is to form a list of chemicals with proven hazardous properties and clear identification of physico-chemical parameters of the waste components that are responsible for those properties manifestation.Increased attention to highly hazardous waste, adequate methods of collection, temporary storage, transport, disposal should lead to improvement of environment quality, reduce health risks for those in occupational contact with waste and for general population.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"41 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114040255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study revealed that high dose radiation exposure suppressed the cell-mediated immunity especially with respect to T-lymphocytes and their subpopulations as well as immune defense and adaptation mechanisms. Ionizing radiation exposure led to increase of conjugated lipid dienes and malondialdehyde (MDA), and to inhibition of catalase and glutathione peroxidise activity, thus promoting oxidative stress in most of the examined samples. The results indicate dramatic changes in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system under the radiation stress. Both cell-mediated and humoral immunity inhibition, mononuclear phagocyte system suppression and lipid peroxidation / antioxidant defense imbalance provide a background for immunopathological disorders, provoking radiation-related carcinogenesis. Impairment of functional network related to glutathione-dependent redox catalytic system decreases human antioxidant status, that necessitates specification of new promising methods correcting adaptation.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130341062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reference group included 28 males with analogous occupations and work conditions with work schedule without night shifts; average age 37,9±3.3 years (p>0,05), average length of service 13,2±3,2 years (p>0,05).

Variability of heart rhythm was assessed with software complex «Poly-Spectr–8/EX» by standard method. Findings are that the workers exposed to occupational hazards and engaged into work schedule with night shifts during 5 years demonstrate the level of vegetative regulation at rest corresponding to the physiologic one; but on exertion there is intense stress of adaptation mechanisms and significant decrease of functional resources. If length of service from 5 to 10 years, the vegetative regulation is characterized by dysbalance of adaptation mechanisms and vegetative dysfunction development; additional exertion cause overstrain sympathetic part with depletion of compensatory mechanisms. If length of service over 10 years, there is excessive involvement of sympathetic influences after orthoclinostatic test — that indicates severe strain of vegetative regulation mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121809767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings are that actual scenarios of heat load on the workers significantly differ from the calculated ones.
