[Heat exchange in machine operators and dump truck drivers during the exploitation of gravel and sand in Central Asia].
The study was designed to analyze microclimatic conditions in the cabs of excavating machines and dump trucks during warm and cold seasons and to study their impact on body thermoregulatory processes in excavator and truck drivers. The study findings revealed that microclimate was especially unfavourable during a warm season. Inducators of body thermal state gave evidence that such working conditions generated stresses in thermoregulatory processes. Work during cold seasons caused some body cooling, especially at the beginning of the shift. The data thus obtained enabled one to elaborate health-improving measures aimed at optimization of workplace microclimate, rationalization of work/recreation regimen and drinking habits.
