Abstract
The analysis and quantitative assessment of the impact of weather conditions in the Far North on the functional state of specialists in the nuclear industry working on a rotational basis. The study was conducted in the Murmansk region, during 40 days (from July to August), during which the parameters of weather conditions were recorded and individual surveys were conducted on 38 participants (men, average age 40.4±7.9 years), who came from cities located in temperate latitudes. In total, 397 measurements of heart rate variability and blood pressure indicators were performed, 101 measurements were performed using the “Self-Feeling, Activity, Mood” and “Self-Assessment Questionnaire” methods, and 501 measurements were performed using sensorimotor methods (simple and complex visual-motor reaction).
It was shown that the parameters of cloudiness and air temperature have the greatest impact on heart rate and arrhythmia. A correlation was found between atmospheric pressure and a subjective assessment of the state of health, while an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in the level of wakefulness, concentration, emotional background and self-confidence. An analysis of the influence of meteorological factors in the Far North on visual-motor stimuli has shown that an increase in relative humidity and a decrease in ambient temperature lead to a statistically significant slowdown in the average reaction rate and an increase in the number of errors when performing tasks.
Keywords: rmeteorological parameters, functional state, shift method of labor organization, extreme weather conditions, adaptation mechanisms
