... ort Medicine, Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Odessa Background. At the present stage of development of the world economics, the problem of energy saving and energy resources economy becomes especially relevant. One of the most rational ways to solve this problem is to use modern high-efficiency heat insulation materials (HIM) in construction and on transport. The presence of various types of HIM is dictated by the economic, organizational aspects of their production, special security requirements, depending on the scope of their application. The purpose of this work was a comprehensive toxicological and hygienic assessment of various types of modern insulating materials and ground of the criteria for their safe use under normal operating conditions and in the emergencies (fires). Materials and methods. The assessment of the migration of chemicals into the air and the toxic combustion products (TCP) consist of 36 HIM by gas chromatographic and photometric methods, including the modes of thermooxidative destruction (450 oС) and flame combustion (750 оС) on a special experimental equipment. Results. Under the conditions simulating the application of the HIM, the excess of the TLV was not established, but in the case of modeling the nominal operating conditions — only in 19,4 % of cases. Among the components exceeding the normative values, are dominated such pollutants, as: materials from mineral wool — formaldehyde (100 % of cases), expanded polystyrene — styrene (72,7 %), PUF — benzene, formaldehyde a [...]
