Asbestos dust associated with other factors induces more hazardous effects, than if acting solely. That is seen especially in women whose morbidity grows 1.5-2.0 times higher than in men of the same occupations. Further studies are recommended for better knowledge asbestos dust influence under provocative action of other hazards.

The optimization coefficients for making demands of an employer to grant funds for measures for primary prophylaxis of occupational diseases are proposed. The initial payment is based on the expenses connected with these problems in the past 3 years. An approximate calculating scale for primary prophylaxis is presented.

The traditional aspect of prenosological changes occurring in workers exposed to industrial agents was considered from the current clinical and hygienic standpoints. A working classification of occupationally dependent prenosological changes was proposed, which identifies categories of those with and without clinical manifestations. The classification covers all the most important and currently known consequences of adverse effects on workers contacting with hazardous agents. It reflects not only theoretical aspects, but the practical value of the classification.

Presents data on the occupational diseases of railway workers in 1958-1994 and analyzes the nosological structure of morbidity with regard for the technological progress in various fields of this industry. Discusses the problems related to occupational diseases in this population. A disease is recognized as an occupational only in cases when occupational hazards cannot be eliminated by modern technology, but still, the victims are to have a life compensation from the work-giver for not providing the proper working conditions.

Analysis of experience gained by the Russian hygienic science, actual hygienic materials, and authors' own data show that hygiene as science can be justly considered as a theoretical scientific branch engaged in fundamental problems of medical science. Moreover, etiology of professional and ecology-caused diseases is one of the most important aspects of theoretical basis of hygienic science.

The authors report their experience on improvement of Rules for Transportation of Dangerous Load and related legal documents and recommendations. The materials necessitate systematic research in urgent medical care, transport hygiene, ecology and all fields forming basic science for improvement of Rules for Transportation of Dangerous Load. The article considers scientific and informational value of emergency cards escorting dangerous load (exemplified by high concentrations of hexamethylene diamine).
