The article examines the problems in formulating the air environment in hermetically sealed rooms. It discusses findings on the liberation of toxic substances from various plastics into the cabin atmosphere and the principles and methods of medical-toxicological evaluation of polymer materials used in equipping the cabins of devices for space flight. An analysis is given of the literature on the hygienic significance of the products of human vital activity and feasible ways of setting the extreme tolerable limits thereof in the atmosphere of hermetically sealed cabins.
