[Hygienic assessment of priority physical factors of the urban dwelling environment]. 2009

S M Chernenko, and L A Fedotova

A complex of chemical, physical, and biological factors of varying intensity influences man under the dwelling environmental conditions. Modern man spends as high as 80-90% of the day time under the conditions of the closed spaces of the urbanized habitat and is constantly exposed to physical factors. The present environmental hygiene monitoring system requires great attention to the control of priority physical factors in the environment. By using a number of examples, the authors give criteria for determining the priority of factors of physical nature and an objective assessment of their importance in the formation of the safe dwelling environment.

D018876	Environmental Illness	A polysymptomatic condition believed by clinical ecologists to result from immune dysregulation induced by common foods, allergens, and chemicals, resulting in various physical and mental disorders. The medical community has remained largely skeptical of the existence of this "disease", given the plethora of symptoms attributed to environmental illness, the lack of reproducible laboratory abnormalities, and the use of unproven therapies to treat the condition.
