[Some lessons of passportization of carcinogenic dangerous industries in Russia in 1999-2007].
The paper presents the results of passportization of carcinogenic dangerous undertakings in 1999-2007. It gives a detailed analysis of passportization records in 8 regions of the Russian Federation. The proportion of workers occupationally exposed to carcinogens in the passportized undertakings averages 11%. Among the people exposed, women are about 30%. The common drawback to passportization is that the enterprises to be passported are underestimated. The records of passportization suggest that there is inadequate monitoring of the working air level of carcinogenic substances; the workers lack adequate personal protection means; an oncologist is outside a group of specialists making preventive medical examinations at the carcinogenic dangerous enterprises. The employers' awareness of possible carcinogenic hazards at the enterprises should be increased.
