Health problems in the use of high-lift trucks
Hygienická hlediska při provozu vysokozdvižných vozíků [in Czech]
After recalling the hazards of toxic exhaust gases (CO, CO₂, nitrous gases), the author reviews various preventive measures (catalytic postcombustion exhaust chambers, air monitoring, use of suitable fuels, tuning the motor), analyses the relevant Czech regulations, and reports on the results of CO measurements made on power trucks with and without catalytic combustion devices under different operating conditions of the motor. The space utilisation of the store in which the trucks are used may affect the pollution level. The author observed considerable ignorance of the regulations in very many cases and he stresses the advantages of trucks using propane-butane gas over petrol- and diesel-powered engines in respect of exhaust CO.

The work environment's influence on the cardiovascular system - Polycardiographic investigations in workers exposed to trichloroethylene.
Reported cases of sudden death due to the chronic effects of trichloroethylene (TCE) leading to ventricular fibrillation, and also the changes observed in the stroke volume and cardiac output indicate an effect of TCE on the cardiovascular system. The authors examined 20 exposed female workers using the polycardiographic method. The urinary output of trichloroacetic acid and trichloroethanol was used as a test of exposure. Phase structure changes of the left ventricular systole were observed in persons exposed to levels above the MAC. The early diagnosis of these changes in workers exposed to TCE is important for the prevention of more serious subsequent cardiovascular changes.

Ergonomický průzkum práce na manipulačních skladech dřeva [in Czech]
A survey carried out over a period of more than 10 years showed that there was a saving of approximately 65% in manpower and energy expenditure when certain logging and timber-processing operations were carried out in mechanised timber yards instead of in the forest as previously; the reduction in energy expenditure amounted to only 50% in the case of logs. Detailed results of the technique used in the various operations are given in tables.
