Hygienic evaluation of fireman's work conditions revealed that smoke generation zone near ignition source contains a complex of toxic chemicals in concentrations hundreds of times exceeding the MACs. Staffers are exposed to noise and vibration, levels of which exceed the normal values. Those who more frequently participated in fire extinguishing and therefore faced more toxic factors demonstrate higher levels of disablement.
