[Health state and occupational risk evaluation in railway passenger car conductors]
Abstract:
One of the main parameters characterizing workers' health state is transitory disablement morbidity. Among the occupational groups of railway workers in Mongolia, conductors occupy first place in morbidity, with values over 2.4 times higher than an average for all railway workers. Findings are high level of occupational conditionality for cardiovascular diseases (RR = 3.22; EF = 69; c2 = 7.46) and for genito-urinary tract diseases (RR = 4.84; EF = 79; c2 = 20.21), and diseases concerning pregnancy, delivery and post-partum (other obstetric conditions) (RR = 11.85; EF = 92; c2 =.11.21).

Conductors and Insulators
Most metals are conductors. Their atomic configuration is such that one or more electron(s) are loosely bound to the nucleus in each atom. Thus, a sea of mobile electrons are available in them, known as free electrons. Their easy...
Charge on a Conductor
Electric Field Inside a Conductor
Suppose a piece of metal is placed near a positive charge. The free electrons in the metal are attracted to the external positive charge and migrate freely toward that region. This region then...
Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...
