title: [Physiological and hygienic characteristics of working conditions in the copper and nickel-processing industry].
abstract: Basing on complex physiological and hygienic studies, the contributors propose an assessment of the work load of those engaged in the major professions in copper and nickel metallurgy. The results of the study revealed a significant functional overstrain in workers, which resulted from manual labour overload, unfavourable microclimate conditions (hot in summer and cold in winter), along with a set of hazardous factors (dusts, toxic gases, etc). A set of health-related measures was proposed.
