Boris Savin and his significance in Russian medicine and physiology (to the 100^th anniversary of his birth)

The article is dedicated to the memory of the famous military and civilian physiologist, hygienist, doctor Boris Savin. Savin was born on January 9, 1920, passed the Great Patriotic War, from 1946 to 1975 he served in the Kirov Military-Medical Academy, where he defended his PhD and doctoral dissertations, he received the academic rank of Professor and was justly recognized as one of the leading figures in aviation medicine, who devoted his studies to the problem of impact overloads and hyperosmotic on the central nervous system and the organism as a whole.

In 1976 he headed the radiofrequency electromagnetic waves laboratory of the Institute of Occupational hygiene and professional diseases of the USSR Academy of medical Sciences and worked there for 20 years. During the years at the Institute, he has made a significant contribution to improving the hygienic regulation of electromagnetic fields occupational exposure to workers electromagnetic safety ensure. Developed under his leadership, the principles and criteria for electromagnetic fields standardization, control and protection against them, based on dose-effective dependencies of the factor's human health effects. These principles still serve as the basis for systematic solution to the problems of persons occupationally associated with electromagnetic fields sources maintenance and operation health state adverse changes prevention.
