toxic substances

The article dwells on the mathematical model of heat and mass transfer processes in „environment-protective clothing-human” system which takes into account simultaneous penetration of ambient heat and toxic chemicals in the multi-layer membrane of garments with air gap. On the basis of this model, the parameters of a gas and heat protective suit are reasonably defined.

The article analyzes hazardous household waste, including detergents, paints, adhesives, expired medicines, luminescent lamps, pesticides, fertilizers, batteries and accumulators, electrical and electronic waste, mercury-containing materials. Research shows that they contain a large quantity of dangerous and toxic substances (compounds of heavy metals, chlorinated polymers, aromatic hydrocarbons, surfactants, etc.), which pose a significant risk to the environment and human.
