Evaluation of mutagenic activity of external factors

Abstract

Petrochemical enterprises dominate the system of the economic potential of our country. These enterprises, according to Russian legislation, are classified as carcinogenic. The technological process of this industry has excellent potential for improvement, which is predominantly expressed in the areas of technological, sanitary, and technical labor protection. However, according to the technical regulations, it is challenging to achieve complete industrial safety, which forms the list of problems of carcinogenic industrial facilities. Hence, the main objective of the present study is to evaluate the mutagenic activity of external factors. To accomplish that aim, experimental research is conducted. The results of this research can serve as a starting point in developing preventive measures to reduce the level of mutagenic hazard at carcinogenic enterprises.
