The study revealed new health risks for drivers due to vibration


Even a weak but prolonged vibration leads to a phase of pre-pathological changes when the body's resources are depleted. It can cause serious occupational diseases. This was reported on June 30 by RIA Novosti with reference to the study.
Specialists from the Russian Technological University (RTA) MIREA, together with colleagues from the Moscow Aviation Institute and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences, studied the effects of prolonged low-frequency vibration.
They studied the human body's response to vibration using a specialized experimental setup that creates unidirectional effects. Experts noted that the driver of any vehicle, such as a car, train or airplane, is confronted with prolonged vibration.
Earlier, on June 26, auto expert Konstantin Ozhogin said that short trips of less than 10-15 km can have a more negative impact on engine oil life than an hour-long trip along the highway. The specialist explained that it is necessary to focus on the timing of engine oil replacement not by mileage, but by operating hours.
On June 11, auto expert Andrey Subbotin warned that in an attempt to save money on refueling air conditioners, some car owners turn not to specialized services, but to garage stations and to craftsmen "from the curb", which threatens problems with the car.
