A complex examination was made of 72 men--short-wave (3-30 MHz) radio equipment controllers. Two parallel control groups of 70 people all in all were examined. No regular changes in the dynamics of amplitude-frequency characteristics of electroencephalogram, associated with the length of service, were observed. The number of subjective complaints from people in contact with radiofrequencies increased with an increase in the length of service. The role of certain clinico-physiological parameters of the organism in the process of adaptation to electromagnetic radiation was quantitatively assessed with the use of status-metry technique; in particular, a decrease in the functional activity of the right hemisphere brain structures, aggravating with the length of service, was observed.
