[The evaluation of the working conditions and the characteristics of the prevalence of vibration-induced disease among miners in the Far North].

The article covers the data of physiologic and hygienic evaluation of vibration disease prevalence among miners of Far North and evaluation of their work conditions. The authors compare effects of local vibration on miners in the mines with negative ambient temperatures during the year and in those with the low positive temperatures. The negative temperatures and local vibration appeared to disorder formation of specific physiologic response to the stated factors. The data presented cover prevalence and progressing of vibration disease among the miners in Far North.
