[Problems in the prediction and assessment of total chemical load on the human body using computer technologies]

The paper deals with trends in the development of upto-date computer-assisted multimedia systems and defines the promising trends in their practical use in hygienic investigations. Analyzing the structure and elements of foreign computer systems has led to the conclusion that they should be adapted to the Russian conditions. The authors outlined the problems which are associated with the development of Russian multimedia systems and the adaptation of foreign ones to the Russian conditions. One of the basically important issues is a discrepancy found in the American reference doses (concentrations) and daily doses given to the population when the hygiene regulations accepted in Russia are observed.
