PRESERVATION OF PROFESSIONAL HEALTH AFTER EXPOSURETO INFECTING ACCIDENTAL FACTORS OF ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

When eliminating indoor accidents and emergencies, toxic gases - such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes and acrolein - pose the greatest danger, as well as a concomitant lack of oxygen. Recently, there is growing evidence that in the body of employees who are professionally involved in the elimination of accidents and emergencies, a cumulative accumulation of poisons arises from the effects of combustion products on the body. Carcinogenic substances were discovered in the smoke of fires, inducing the development of malignant tumors in the human body. These include: benz(a)pyrene, vinyl chloride, nitrosamine, formaldehyde, the concentration of which significantly exceeds the permissible norms. One of the most dangerous cumulative poisons are dioxins. These compounds are fundamental factors in the pollution of the biosphere, and fires are one of the important sources of dioxin release into the environment. The reason for the toxicity of dioxins is the ability of these substances to fit exactly into the receptors of living organisms and suppress or alter their vital functions. Dioxins, suppressing the immune system and intensively influencing the processes of cell division and specialization, provoke the development of cancer. Dioxins also invade the complex, smooth functioning of the endocrine glands. Interfere with reproductive function, dramatically slowing puberty and often leading to female and male infertility. To select and justify the most promising ways to manage the professional risk of firefighters, a sanocentric approach to studying the effects of smoke on firefighters seems appropriate. The essence of the approach is that not only the danger of death and accidents due to fire should be taken into account, but also the possible long-term biological effects of acute and chronic effects of smoke on the health of firefighters, which has both medical and social significance.
