Soviet prophylactic nutrition for workers in toxic chemical occupational environments

EI Sutphen

In the Soviet Union, certain foods and vitamins are officially approved for distribution to workers exposed to some toxic chemical occupational environments. The types and quantities of foods, categorized as rations 1-5, are formulated according to the chemical exposure. These rations provide between 1364-1481 kcal and consist of 16-18% protein, 26-33% fat, and 46-55% carbohydrate. Certain vitamins are recommended in some working environments, in addition to the standard rations. All foods and vitamins are provided to the workers as a meal in the factory or industrial plant. Although this prophylactic nutrition is officially approved in the Soviet Union, the actual distribution of these rations and vitamins depends largely on decisions made by local administrations.
