Summary
Work in clean rooms significantly impairs neuro-muscular function and central nervous system status, leading to fatigue in electronics system workers. Sensomotor reactions slow down, but complex reaction times remain unaffected.
Area of Science:
- Occupational health
- Human factors engineering
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Clean rooms in electronics manufacturing present unique work environments.
- Understanding the physiological impact on workers is crucial for maintaining productivity and well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the work-physiological effects of clean room environments on specific worker groups.
- To assess the impact on neuro-muscular and central nervous system functions.
Main Methods:
- Work-physiological examinations were conducted on photolithography workers and operators.
- Measurements included sensomotor reaction times and dynamometric indices at the end of the workday.
Main Results:
- A significant prolongation of sensomotor reaction times was observed.
- Deterioration in dynamometric indices indicated impaired neuro-muscular system function.
- Complex sensomotor reaction (choice reaction) time remained unchanged.
Conclusions:
- Complex work in clean rooms leads to decreased central nervous system functional state.
- General and nervous fatigue develop by the end of the working day for these professionals.
