[The use of individual protective devices for decreasing the microbial contamination of the inhaled air].

The work was aimed to justify application of gas masks and respirators with autonomous air source fo lower bacterial contamination of inhaled air. The studies also covered possible catch of bacteria by cotton and filters FPP-15-1.5, those composed of antimicrobial materials, containing furagin or copper ions.

[Means of individual protection in cleaning-up consequences of accidents at chemical industries].

The authors considered protective efficiency and physiologic acceptability to compare various types of individual protective means applied in some industries. The article presents general principles and methodic approaches to use of various individual protective means for eyes and respiratory organs. The important notion is that besides individual protective means also pharmacologic agents, various norms and regulations (MAC) should be used to protect humans from chemical hazards.

[Experimental rationale for the use of drugs to increase the resistance of the human body to the combined action of carbon monoxide and hyperthermia].

A group of volunteers was exposed to coaction of carbon dioxide (concentration 300 mg/cu m) and heating microclimate (ambient temperature +50 +/- 2 degrees C, relative humidity 20 +/- 5%), simultaneously they received one of the medicines: placebo, bemitil (0.5 g), bromantane (0.25 g) or bemitil (0.
