References to pertinent Czechoslovak standards and literature published in other countries on the subject. A distinction is drawn between old and new undertakings. The following aspects are covered: microclimate (dilemma posed by the exigencies of technical engineering factors on the one hand, and occupational health criteria on the other); dust problem in the cotton, flax and wool industries at all production stages (considerable numerical data); noise problem; lighting. Each section contains information on preventive measures (recommended or already in use).
