On implementation of «Clean air» federal project in Omsk

The first two years of «Clean air» Federal project in Omsk have been completed and preliminary results have been estimated. The present work deals with issues related to implementation of the Complex program aimed at reducing emissions, highlights the sanitary-epidemiologic situation related to air contamination in settlements, and describes activities aimed at optimizing a laboratory network used for monitoring over ambient air quality. It is essential to obtain maximum objective data on population health risks caused by ambient air contamination at the initial stage of the Federal project implementation. Our research goal was to estimate intermediate results in the Federal project implementation taking into account preliminary analysis of sanitary epidemiologic welfare in Omsk related to ambient air contamination. Our research object was ambient air quality in Omsk, potential health risks and population health parameters associated with ambient air contamination over 2009–2019. The examination was performed in accordance with a procedure for health risk assessment under exposure to chemicals (R 2.1.10.1920-04), as well as procedures, approaches, and algorithms stipulated in the normative and methodological documents MR 2.1.6.0158-19, MR 2.1.6.0156-19, with use of geoinformation technologies and statistical procedures. The research allowed substantiating a program for monitoring over ambient air quality taking into account all the existing monitoring systems basing on spatial distribution of total hazard quotient (S) in Omsk residential area and preliminary data obtained via aggregated calculations of ground contaminants concentrations. We suggested a list of control parameters and a procedure for their estimation in order to provide objective and timely monitoring over implementation of the Complex program aimed at reducing emissions into ambient air in Omsk. Implementation of the Complex program was estimated as per results of certain activities accomplished within it in 2019.

Analysis of Customer Satisfaction with the Quality of Services of an Inspection Body

Introduction: One of the basic principles of quality management is customer orientation. The most convenient method of monitoring and measuring customer satisfaction is a customer survey. Literature review showed a lack of information on the analysis of consumer assessment of the quality of services in the field of ensuring sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. The purpose of the study was to substantiate measures for optimization of the quality management system (QMS) based on the analysis of consumer (customer) satisfaction with the quality of services for the conduct of sanitary and epidemiological expert examinations (hereinafter referred to as examinations) rendered by the Inspection Body of the Moscow Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology, Federal Budgetary Health Institution, with the exception of its branch offices in administrative districts, including those rendered for provision of government services by Moscow Rospotrebnadzor Office. Materials and methods: A special questionnaire was developed to study customer satisfaction with the quality of services rendered by the Inspection Body and the total of 510 questionnaires was analyzed in 2019 using statistical, sociological, and logical methods of research. The results of the survey showed that the customers were generally satisfied with the quality of services provided by the body. The data on priority factors determining the customer’s choice of an institution for conducting expert examinations were collected. The need to optimize the information component of the official website about the services was identified. The importance of developing remote interaction with customers, including that through the official website, was established. Introduction of a systematic monitoring of customer satisfaction including electronic questionnaire-based surveys was proposed. The expediency of optimizing the procedure for preparing expert opinions based on the results of laboratory tests, which would improve the quality and shorten the time for conducting examinations, was established. Conclusions: The survey of customer satisfaction with the quality of expert services rendered by the Inspection Body of the Moscow Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology revealed the determinants for choosing the institution, the necessity to develop information technologies for interaction with customers, and the factors showing the importance of improving the QMS procedure for conducting expert examinations of laboratory test results.

The Role of Disinsection and Deratization in the Framework of Non-Specific Prophylaxis of Diseases among the Population in Natural Plague Foci in the Territory of the CIS Countries

Natural foci of plague – a particularly dangerous transmissible zoonotic disease – are widely spread across the world, including in the territory of Russia and a number of neighboring countries in Central Asia. Between 2000 and 2019, 28339 cases of plague were registered in 21 states around the world; lethality rates reached 8 %. Active plague manifestations are associated with the increase in the abundance of carriers and vectors of the disease, which increases the risk of human infection. Prophylactic measures against plague are aimed at prevention and eradication of epidemic foci; they incorporate a whole complex (system) of activities. Disinsection and deratization remain the most radical of them. Control of the numbers of carriers and vectors of plague involves decrement up to the levels at which epizooties will not develop, they are suppressed and liquidated. Currently in the Russian Federation and CIS countries, the focus is on the field and community disinsection when planning and performing exterminatory interventions. The decrease in the numbers of fleas – carriers and vectors of plague microbe – results in disruption of epizootic process and, consequently, in provision of epidemiological welfare as regards this dangerous disease. Insecticide treatments in natural biotopes are carried out using powder-like or aerosolized products, the class of pyrethroids, organophosphorous compounds and phenylpyrazoles by means of advanced equipment: knapsack dusters, power operated air blowers, and foggers. Within the boundaries of residential areas wet disinsection is performed with the help of spraying devices. Field deratization is allowed upon epidemiological grounds only, in localized territories of epizooties, within the boundaries of the settlements of plague infected carriers. Zinc phosphide- or anticoagulant-based bait products are used as rodenticides. Therewith, the eradication of valuable animal species, rare species of small mammals and endemic species is prohibited. Community deratization is always accompanied by the community disinsection. When planning and carrying out insecticide and rodenticide treatments the priority is given to the safety of handling the chemical preparations, to the exclusion of the negative effect on target animal species.

Analysis of the hygienic assessment of the electromagnetic environment in residential areas near military airfields

In the purpose to ensure the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population living on the territory near the military aerodrome calculated assessment of the geometry and size of the sanitary protection zone (SPZ) was carried out based on aerodrome radiation sources electromagnetic fields (EMF) level and the requirements of current legislation in electromagnetic safety. The analysis showed that the calculated levels of total EMF exposure outside the technical (adjacent) territory are significantly lower than the established maximum permissible for the population. The results obtained allow us to prevent the possibility of developing an inadequate (hyperbolized) perception (radiophobia) of the danger of exposure to this factor, as well as rental behavior of people living in these territories.

Problems of Expert Examination of Alteration Projects for Built-In Objects in Multistoried Residential Houses

Summary. Background: Running of built-in objects in residential houses can significantly worsen living conditions due to adverse effects of various chemical and physical environmental factors. Yet, sanitary and epidemiological standardization in terms of placement of non-residential premises in residential buildings is not sufficiently regulated, which leads to numerous violations when commissioning non-residential premises in residential buildings. In this regard, the question arises about legal acts regulating design issues and ensuring sanitary and epidemiological well-being when placing non-residential objects in residential buildings and constituting the basis for sanitary and epidemiological expert examinations. Materials and methods: We analyzed regulatory acts setting sanitary and epidemiological requirements for living conditions, placement of public facilities in residential buildings, and alteration projects in residential buildings and examined the archive of public complaints. Results: We established the absence of federal regulations requiring mandatory sanitary and epidemiological expert examination of alteration projects for public facilities built into residential buildings. A significant part of issues related to ensuring sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population is determined by technical regulations on safety of buildings and structures rather than sanitary legislation. This is the reason why these regulations are included in the scope of accreditation of many inspection bodies of Rospotrebnadzor institutions. Executive authorities and customers of projects for placement of non-residential premises in residential buildings, assuming reconfiguration of built-in facilities, order a sanitary and epidemiological expert examination of alteration projects, rightly believing that elimination of nonconformities at the stage of a separate project will be the most cost-effective solution. Conclusion: It goes without saying that the most efficient solution that can help prevent deterioration of living conditions is a sanitary and epidemiological expert examination requiring amendments and additions to the current sanitary legislation on expediency of such an examination.

The main aspects of social and hygienic monitoring for diphyllobothriasis in the territory of the Republic of Buryatia

Introduction. The high incidence of diphyllobotriosis in the coastal areas of Lake Baikal is an objective reflection of the socio-hygienic problems of the population of the Republic of Buryatia. In ensuring sanitary and epidemiological well-being in the Republic of Buryatia, there are many topical and territory-specific hygienic problems related to food safety issues. One of the main tasks is to prevent cases of diphyllobotriosis associated with the consumption of aquatic bioresources caught in the reservoirs of Transbaikalia, including the Baikal omul, in connection with the preservation of the risk of its development from the impact of a complex of socioeconomic, biological and environmental factors of the environment.The purpose of our study was to investigate the regional features of diphyllobothriosis with an analysis of the current situation on infection of fish (the second intermediate hosts of the genus diphyllobothrium) with diphyllobothrium plerocercoids.Material and methods. The database of the Republican information Fund for social and hygienic monitoring of the Department of Federal Service for Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare for the Republic of Buryatia and the Center for hygiene and epidemiology in the Republic of Buryatia was used as sources of information. The study was conducted using statistical, analytical, mathematical methods, as well as comparative analysis.Results. According to our research, the course of the epidemic process was found to be influenced by a complex of environmental factors. This high anthropogenic load of the Selenga river and lake Quill, where the main causes are the failure modes of nature-protection and sanitary-protective zones of the lake, the unauthorized disposal of waste production and consumption, inadequate operation of water purification facilities, deterioration of the sanitary-technical condition of water supply and sewage networks.Conclusion. The high incidence of diphyllobotriosis in the coastal areas of lake Baikal is an objective reflection of the socio-hygienic problems of the population of the Republic of Buryatia.

Accidental and deliberate movement of animals and pathogens of natural focal infections to new territories

Numerous facts of both intentional and accidental (along with food and industrial goods) movement of various animal species together with their ectoparasites from one region to another by all types of vehicles are known. Uncontrolled animals and their ectoparasites can potentially be infected with pathogens of especially dangerous natural focal infections, which constitutes a certain threat to the human population, that is, to the epizootic and epidemiological well-being of a particular region and the country as a whole. Therefore, strict control over the observance of all quarantine measures is necessary to prevent the delivery of any species of animals infected with natural focal infections to new territories.

NOVELS OF CRIMINAL LEGISLATION IN THE CONDITIONS OF PANDEMIA

The relevance of the chosen topic is caused by changes in the current Russian administrative and criminal legislation in connection with the spread of a new coronavirus infection. Based on specific examples, the authors confirm that, in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a diverse practice of the application of such norms is emerging, which leads to the lack of a uniform application of the law. The subject of the study is legislative, doctrinal, interpretative provisions, as well as judicial investigative practice, reflecting the specifics of applying the law in the field of protecting citizens from the threat of the spread of infectious diseases. The purpose of the study is to analyze legislative novels and develop scientifically sound provisions to improve existing legislation and law enforcement practices in the field of counteracting encroachments in the field of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population. The main research method is the dialectical-materialistic method of cognition, which allows you to objectively and comprehensively consider the problems of legal assessment of offenses in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. Along with it, general scientific research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, abstraction; special research methods were used: formal legal, interviewing. The work provides a detailed critical analysis of the composition of administrative offenses and crimes in the field of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population, explores the most important issues for law enforcement. In addition, the authors propose measures to improve legislation in this area. The criminological risks of introducing a system of immune passports are studied. The scientific novelty of the study is evidenced by the main conclusions and conclusions reached by the authors, containing recommendations for improving legislation in this area and the practice of its application. The independence of the conclusions made is confirmed by a comprehensive approach to the study of new norms of the current administrative and criminal legislation, as well as materials of judicial investigative practice.

Sanitary and Epidemiologic Wellbeing and Health of School Children in Modern Conditions

Introduction: Inadequate physical activity, eating disorders, irrational factors of the educational environment and a poor motivation for a healthy lifestyle are often observed among youngsters and act as their health risk factors. At the present stage, they hamper ensuring optimal living conditions and achieving better health of schoolchildren and require a new approach to solving the tasks. The objective of the study was to assess provision of sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing at schools and health of schoolchildren to substantiate priorities for management decision making. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in two comprehensive schools of the city of Penza and involved 2,672 children and 720 parents. We used sanitary, hygienic, physiological, sociological, and statistical methods of research. Results: The level of sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing in the experimental school with an up-to-date model of hygienic education and development of a healthy lifestyle integrated in the educational process where students have the opportunity to receive health-improving and rehabilitation medical care, was significantly higher than in the control one. Introduction of the new model of upbringing and functioning of the department for disease prevention and rehabilitation contributed to an increase in students’ motivation for a healthy lifestyle and skill consolidation in the behavior of youngsters as confirmed by a larger proportion of such students in the experimental school compared with the control one (75–89% against 50–74%, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Implementation of management decisions including the upgrade of the system of hygiene education, creation of a healthy lifestyle of students, and organization of the department for disease prevention and rehabilitation on the basis of the educational establishment had a positive effect on students’ health.

Legal analysis of the use of health risk assessment in the field of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population

In recent years, when regulating relations in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population, risk-oriented supervision, and the population health risk assessment have been increasingly applied. The usage of these effective tools requires a clear legal framework. The article represents the analysis of the legal aspects of the usage of public health risk assessment and risk-based control (surveillance) in the field of the sanitary-epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation. Special attention is drawn to the problems of applying the methods for state sanitary-epidemiological surveillance. The analysis of draft laws related to this area and the legislation and experience of other countries is performed. The analysis of modern legislative changes regarding the application of risk-based supervision and the application of public health risk assessment allows concluding that the methodology for health risk assessment is an important tool in regulating relations in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. Currently, there is a certain legal and regulatory framework for its use. But it needs improvement. As the experience of the “regulatory guillotine” carried out in many countries shows, this procedure allows eliminating many contradictions existing in regulatory legal acts. A risk-based approach is enshrined in the legislation of all EAEU member countries. At the same time, an analysis of the regulatory framework showed that a risk-oriented model was formed to a greater extent and is functioning in terms of classification (categorization) by the risk of harm to the health of legal entities (LE), individual entrepreneurs (IP) or their activities than risk-based supervision of products traded in the consumer market. The transition to a new model of state control (supervision) requires legal consolidation of the risk management system in the law on sanitary and epidemiological well-being and taking into account the experience of the EU and EAEU countries in this area.

Gender features of occupational pathology in the Russian Arctic

Introduction. An interest in studying the gender characteristics of occupational pathology is determined by increasing economic activity in the Arctic and the upcoming expansion of women’s access to occupations with harmful working conditions.The purpose of the study was to carry out a comparative investigation of working conditions and occupational pathology among male and female workers at enterprises in the Arctic.Material and methods. The data of socio-hygienic monitoring “Working conditions and occupational morbidity” of the population of the Russian Arctic in 2007-2018 were studied.Results and discussion. 92.6% of occupational diseases have been established to occur in men due to more harmful working conditions (fibrogenic aerosols, noise, whole-body, and hand-arm vibration, the severity of labor). The risk of their occurrence in 2018 was higher than in 2007 (RR = 1.71; CI 1.51-1.93) and higher than in women (RR = 9.45; CI 7.19-12.4). Unlike men, 48.8% of women worked at facilities of the first group of sanitary and epidemiological welfare (satisfactory conditions) and they had in 2007-2018 a relatively stable number of newly diagnosed occupational diseases. The risk of occupational pathology in women in 2018 and 2007 did not change significantly (RR = 1.07; CI 0.73-1.59). In the structure of occupational diseases in men, the first places are occupied by vibration disease (24.2%), sensorineural hearing loss (20.3%) and radiculopathy (20.1%), and in women - myofibrosis of the forearms (21.2%), radiculopathy(13.7%) and chronic bronchitis (13.4%).Conclusion. Reducing exposure to physical overloads, fibrogenic aerosols, noise, vibration, and chemical factors should be a priority preventive direction at enterprises in the Arctic, especially among male workers whose occupational morbidity rate tends to increase.

Hygienic characteristics of the functional state of the cardiorespiratory system of children exposed to combined effects of air pollution in different climatic conditions

Introduction. Economic activity without taking into account the ecological potential of the territory, the possibilities of self-purification of the natural environment, as well as the adaptive capabilities of the population has led to irreversible changes in many territories. This reduces the level of health of the population and hinders the socio-economic development of the regions.Material and methods. The research was conducted in seven cities located in four climatic zones with varying degrees of air pollution. To assess the level of atmospheric air pollution, the P-Pinigin index was used, and the WBGT index was used for meteorological factors. Data on a medico-biological and social nature were obtained through a questionnaire survey of parents (2380 children). The incidence rates were studied based on the materials of primary accounting documents of forms F. 112-u and F. 026-u (2400 children). In 506 children, indices of the functional state of the cardiorespiratory system, the function of the respiratory system, as well as the functional state of children before and after dosed physical activity were studied.Results. The study revealed more numerous groups of frequently and long-term ill children, children with lower indices of respiratory function, and adverse responses to the dosed physical activity. A more adverse effect of the combined effects of harsh climatic conditions and high levels of atmospheric pollution on the studied indices of children’s health was found.Conclusion. The results obtained should be taken into account when organizing medical services and ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population living in the industrial cities of the Northern regions.

Issues of Improving the Provisions of the Current Law of Ukraine Regarding the Prevention of the Origin and Spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus Disease

The author has studied the current state of the regulatory base on the prevention of the occurrence and spread of the COVID-19coronavirus disease in Ukraine and the practice of its application by authorized entities for the implementation of state policy in the field of health care and the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens.
 The system of public administration in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population has been analyzed. The features of the distribution of powers of state agencies in this area after the liquidation of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Ukraine have been researched.
 The author concludes that the existing system of state agencies that carry out sanitary and epidemiological control in Ukraine requires further improvement by adopting a decree of the Government of Ukraine on the functioning of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service. The author of the article has also identified gaps in the current legislation of Ukraine on administrative offenses, which regulates the procedure for holding accountable for violation of sanitary and anti-epidemic rules. These shortcomings primarily relate to the content of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, which contains the names of non-existent state agencies or their officials, the provisions of repealed laws or other by-laws.
 Based on the analysis of the laws of Ukraine and government decrees on the implementation of sanitary and anti-epidemiological measures, the author has formulated propositions aimed at regulating the legal status of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service; improvement of administrative proceedings in the field of health care and violation of quarantine rules; amending the list of agencies and officials authorized to consider cases of administrative offenses for the violation of sanitary rules; optimization of the mechanism of prosecution for failure to comply with legal orders of entities implementing the state sanitary and anti-epidemiological policy; expanding the list of powers of the National Police for the implementation of administrative detention, verification of documents and police custody within the sequestration.

The Analysis of Factors Influencing Immunologic Reactivity in People Vaccinated with a Live Plague Vaccine

Introduction: An increase in epizootic activity has been registered in a number of plague foci in the Russian Federation over the past few years. As part of securing sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing of the population living in the natural foci of the disease, a mass immunization with a live plague vaccine based of the Yersinia pestis EV line NIIEG vaccine strain was carried out. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of a complex of factors including age, gender, health status, the number of previous vaccinations against plague, blood groups, and HLA gene polymorphism on the state of the cellular and humoral immune response in people vaccinated with the live plague vaccine. Materials and methods: The analysis of venous blood of 347 volunteers included determination of the concentration of specific antibodies to the capsular antigen (F1) of plague microbe, spontaneous and induced production of marker cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-4) by ELISA, and genes of the main histocompatibility complex (HLA) class II by real-time PCR. We also analyzed medical documentation (Form 025/u) and the results of a questionnaire-based survey of the vaccinated people. Results and discussion: We established the influence of various factors, including genetic ones, on marker indicators of the humoral and cellular immune response in persons vaccinated with the live plague vaccine. We also characterized the relationship between the level of specific antibodies to plague microbe F1 production and some cytokines and the age and the number of previous vaccinations in our volunteers. The most common gene variants of the main histocompatibility complex of class II (HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1) in the cohort were identified and possible relationships between the production of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4 and allelic polymorphism of HLA class II genes were determined. Conclusions: Immunologic reactivity in people vaccinated with the live plague vaccine is mainly determined by age, the number of previous vaccinations against this infection, and individual characteristics of HLA gene polymorphism.

LEGAL REGULATION OF NOISE IMPACT ON THE ATMOSPHERIC AIR IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF REGIONAL LEGISLATION

The article examines the provisions of legislation on the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population, regulating the restrictions of negative physical impact on the environment. The article considers the provisions of regional legislation aimed at regulating the issues of ensuring the peace and quiet of citizens. The authors note that the Code of administrative offences of the Russian Federation does not contain a direct ban on actions that violate the peace and quiet of citizens at night, but the corresponding restrictions apply in almost every subject of the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the legal regulation of relations connected with ensuring peace and quiet in a number of subjects of the Russian Federation. Regional acts determine specific prohibited actions that are subject to administrative liability in the form of a fine. The article highlights common and distinctive features of the legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of acoustic impact. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop a unified approach to ensuring silence in the Russian Federation.
