The Laboratory of Information Technologies was established to develop and put to
practical use the systems for fast responding to chemical accidents and disasters.
For promoting health monitoring of chemical agents and munitions demilitarization
workers, as well as population groups living in buffer zones of such hazardous objects,
health registries and databases being developed in the Laboratory play a central
role in occupational disease control programmes. The development of computer diagnostic
programs to assess health risks from chemical exposures is another important contribution
to prevention and control of work-related diseases.

The Laboratory staff involves experienced experts in design automation, medical
diagnostic automation, programming and medicine. Together with scientists of the
Harvard University and National Livermore Laboratory (USA) some research projects
have been carried out. Developed within the frame of a regional programme on preventive
interventions and approaches in the work setting are the systems for fast responding
to work-related accidents as applied to typical production system of 7 chemical
industrial facilities, Volgograd, and 3 systems for special application at chemical
weapons destruction facilities. By this time,
12 medical diagnostic programs have
been developed.
