[Complex toxicologic and hygienic assessment of polymeric construction materials]. 1985

G I Solomin

This review surveys the data on environmental effects upon toxicity of polymers used in the interior of manned enclosures. An integrated approach to the assessment of polymer safety is described which takes into consideration space flight effects on the migration of volatile chemicals into the cabin and which includes hygienic monitoring of them at different stages of spacecraft production. Hygienic requirements for the evaluation of nonmetallic materials are given.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008021	Life Support Systems	Systems that provide all or most of the items necessary for maintaining life and health. Provisions are made for the supplying of oxygen, food, water, temperature and pressure control, disposition of carbon dioxide and body waste. The milieu may be a spacecraft, a submarine, or the surface of the moon. In medical care, usually under hospital conditions, LIFE SUPPORT CARE is available.

D008452	Maximum Allowable Concentration	The maximum exposure to a biologically active physical or chemical agent that is allowed during an 8-hour period (a workday) in a population of workers, or during a 24-hour period in the general population, which does not appear to cause appreciable harm, whether immediate or delayed for any period, in the target population.
