The composition of wash water used by men and women was investigated. The results were exposed to multifactorial statistical analysis using the method of principal components. The investigation allowed the following conclusions to be made: 1) wash water used by men and women is comparable in composition; therefore the sex of the crewmembers of space vehicles can be disregarded when designing water reclamation systems; 2) three parameters, viz. oxidizability, electric conductivity and chloride content, can be adequately used to assess the quality of utilized wash water; 3) the composition of wash water is largely dependent on the health status of its users.
对男性和女性使用的洗涤水成分进行了研究。结果采用主成分分析法进行多因素统计分析。该研究得出了以下结论：1）男性和女性使用的洗涤水成分具有可比性；因此，在设计水回收系统时，可以不考虑航天器乘员的性别；2）氧化能力、电导率和氯化物含量这三个参数可充分用于评估所用洗涤水的质量；3）洗涤水的成分在很大程度上取决于其使用者的健康状况。
