title: [Health and hygiene research on constructive toys intended for children over 7 under natural conditions].
abstract: Physiological and questionnaire investigations are carried out on 10 constructive toys, with the participation of 38 children 7 to 12 years old. A testimonial of the toys is made according to mass, dimensions, technological treatment, packing etc. A number of discrepancies with the hygienic requirements were established: 1) imperfection of the technological treatment (sharp edges, tops and holes, difficult assembling and disassembling of details, not fitting some details at construction, presence of odour, dust in the packings); 2) discrepancy with the announced age destination; 3) faults (incongruity of colours, small dimensions of models and not clear and contrast models, absence of age destination); 4) unphysiological strain and fatigue during play with part of the toys. On the basis of the results are developed hygiene recommendations to the manufacturing of constructive toys for children over 7 years.
