Abstract
Rail transport is recognized in the world as one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transport. It connects numerous regions and districts of the country, ensures the vital activity of all sectors of the economy, the implementation of social programs, economic and national security of the state, actively affects the development of interregional and international relations. However, rail passenger facilities are objects of mass concentration of people, and in this connection there is an “unfavorable” combination of the main epidemiological factors, such as an increased risk of simultaneous infection of a large number of people and the rapid spread of infectious diseases. To ensure comfortable and safe conditions for the passage of passengers and the work of road fitters, it is necessary to improve the system of anti-epidemic and environmental safety. The improvement of the system of anti-epidemic and environmental safety of passenger railway transport facilities was carried out in the following areas: the creation of advanced rolling stock with the availability of modern life support systems; the introduction of environmentally friendly toilet facilities, installations for cleaning and disinfecting air and water in rolling stock and at station complexes; development of modern technologies for disinfection, disinsection and disinfestation; substantiation of the use of modern technology for the collection and disposal of solid household waste; the use of modern safe polymer-containing construction and finishing materials with complex characteristics of hygienic, fire-prevention and environmental safety; ensuring biological safety in the event of emergency situations in railway transport; development of occupational health and safety requirements for railway workers. Also, in order to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere, work is underway to reduce the anthropogenic impact through the modernization of rolling stock and engineering structures. In particular, work is underway to transfer boilers to heating with ecological fuel, promising passenger rolling stock is produced and operated with a centralized power supply.
