[Medical and sanitary conditions of life activities of sea craft crew (review of literature)].

Among these factors, the major influence is caused by physical (noise, vibration, mechanical impacts, ionizing radiation varying in frequency), chemical, climate and.geographic, social an psychologic factors. Conclusion is that extreme work conditions of sailing staffers cause overstrain of adaptation systems, disorders of regulation fuctions, worsen health state and induce disablement. Within a system of medical care.for water transport workers, necessity is to have complex accounting of occupational hazards for more qualitative and safe work conditions.
