The aim of the research was to assess the risk of public health damage due to the impact of atmospheric emissions from the rolling-mill production of a metallurgical plant. Materials and methods. The volume of maximum allowable emissions of the enterprise was used in the work. Calculations of the maximum one-time and average annual concentrations of substances at the selected points associated with residential development microdistricts were carried out using the «ECOcenter-Standard» program. Public health risks were calculated on the basis of the Guideline R 2.1.10.1920-04 and the methods of Shcherbo A.P. and Onishchenko G.G. The resulting risk levels were compared with the acceptable values. Also in the work, risks were determined taking into account the background concentrations of pollutants. Results. Priority pollutants were identified: iron oxide (III), nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, benzo(a)pyrene. The maximum one-time and average annual concentrations of substances at the selected points were determined, an excess of the maximum allowable concentration of iron oxide was revealed. The highest risk levels of chronic intoxication were identified from the exposure to iron oxide and nitrogen dioxide. The maximum total risk level of chronic intoxication was observed in the area of the Kuzbass Fair due to the influence of nitrogen dioxide, which was because of the close location of pollution sources. The total values of carcinogenic risk and the risk of immediate action were below the level of acceptable risk for all points. The total values of the risk of chronic intoxication significantly exceeded the acceptable level at individual points. The carcinogenic risk and the risk of chronic intoxication, taking into account the impact of background concentrations of substances, significantly exceeded the acceptable level. Conclusion. Atmospheric emissions from the rolling-mill production of the metallurgical plant contribute to the pollution of the city’s atmospheric air increasing the risk of chronic intoxication.

Subject of research – atmospheric emissions of the construction industry. Objective of research – assess the risk to public health from the effects of atmospheric emissions from Kuznetsk Light Construction Plant LLC, located in the city of Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Region. Methods of research. The assessment of the emissions of the enterprise based on the analysis of the volume of maximum permissible emissions. The indices of hazard of pollutants were calculated. The maximum and average annual concentrations of pollutants at each point of exposure to concentrations associated with residential microdistricts were determined. The risks of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risks to public health have been calculated. The resulting risk values were compared with the acceptable risk levels. Main results. Substances have been identified that have a major share in the total emissions of the enterprise. Among the non-carcinogenic substances, the main pollutants were suspended solids, as well as dimethylbenzene (xylene), iron trioxide, white spirit and kerosene. The main carcinogen in the plant's emissions is hexavalent chromium. The indices of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic hazard of pollutants were determined. The highest indices of non-carcinogenic hazard were found for manganese and its compounds, suspended solids and dimethylbenzene (xylene). Chromium has the highest carcinogenic hazard index. The risks of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risks were calculated for the points of exposure to concentrations. Comparison of the total risks of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risk with acceptable levels in the selected micro-districts of the city was carried out. Conclusions. The obtained risk values do not exceed the acceptable level, therefore, atmospheric emissions from the Kuznetsk lightweight construction plant do not have a significant impact on the health of the city residents.

Introduction. To study the urbanized territory as a system, an approach was used that allows assessing gaseous and dispersed atmospheric pollution using a unified scale of environmental hazard. The features of air pollution in urban areas were considered, where a significant number of stationary and mobile sources of negative environmental impact are concentrated in limited overpopulated areas.The purpose of the study. the use of theoretical foundations for a systematic assessment of the level of environmental hazard of an urbanized area under the influence of the road network due to a combination of gaseous and dispersed atmospheric pollution.Methods and materials. Based on the improved model of the Urbanized Territory system, the following hypothesis is proposed: 1) motor traffic flows are both independent sources of formation of dispersed particles and sources of uplifting and spreading of particles, which in the presence of gaseous pollutants increases the level of environmental hazard of atmospheric pollution in an urbanized area; 2) atmospheric pollution of an urbanized area is formed when gaseous pollutants and dispersed particles from the street and road network are superimposed on the polluting background of other elements of the Urbanized territory system.Results. The distribution maps of the calculated complex index of atmospheric pollution were obtained for the most problematic areas of the urbanized territory of Naberezhnye Chelny - Prospekt Mira and Kazansky Prospekt. The obtained results characterize the change in the level of environmental hazard of urbanized areas when gaseous pollutants and dispersed particles from the street and road network are superimposed on the polluting background of other elements of the Urbanized territory system.Discussion and conclusion. Based on the generalization and comparison of the results of previous and current studies of the authors, comparing them with the results of other researchers, the hypothesis was fully confirmed. Conclusion. With the confirmation of the hypothesis, the goal of the study was achieved, which has scientific novelty and practical significance for the arrangement of a favorable and comfortable urban environment.

Objective of research – assessment of the impact of environmental and industrial factors on health for risk management and the development of preventive measures. Methods of research. When assessing the risk to public health from exposure to atmospheric emissions from industrial enterprises, the volumes of maximum permissible emissions were used. For calculations based on the map, the points of exposure to concentrations in different areas of the city were selected. The maximum and average annual concentrations were calculated using the Ecocenter-Standard program. The assessment of the risk to public health from exposure to atmospheric emissions of the enterprise was carried out on the basis of the Manual 2.1.10.1920-04. The obtained risk values were compared to the acceptable levels. The hygienic characteristics of the factors during the labor process of employees of industrial enterprises were carried out using data from sanitary laboratories and the results of their own measurements which were evaluated by using the Manual 2.2.2006-05. Occupational risk from the impact of production factors and safe work experience were calculated according to the method of A. P. Mikhailuts. Main results. Environmental risks were assessed and the impact of adverse environmental factors on public health was studied. There were identified the main pollutants. The risks of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risks were calculated considering the points of exposure to the concentrations. The total risks of chronic intoxication and carcinogenic risk were compared to acceptable levels in the selected microdistricts of the city. The hygienic working conditions of the employees of the main industries, as well as the regularities of the influence of the factors of the production environment on their health, were studied. Conclusion. The unfavorable environmental state and the production environment in the industrial region is the main factor for the deterioration of the health in the population, which requires constant study to develop a system of measures to preserve health.

Concentrations of hydrocarbons, phenols, DDT and its metabolites, Cu, Pb, Fe, Ni, DDD/DDE and DDD+DDE/DDT ratios, and total level of chemical contamination (TPF index) in the bottom sediments are traced for 16 stations in the coastal areas at Vladivostok in 1982−2017. Temporal variations of the concentrations and derived indices are classified to 4 types of dynamics, using the methods of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, crosscorrelation analysis, and fuzzy set classification procedure. They are: primary contamination; secondary contamination; exponential growth; and polymodal dynamics. These variations are induced by two main sources of pollution, such as the industrial influx including wastes from Vladivostok and nearby settlements, aeolian transfer and polluted precipitations, and the terrigenous influx with polluted freshwater discharge. Impact of the first source prevails in the Golden Horn Bay, Diomid Inlet and Eastern Bosphorus Strait, and the second source is important for the Amur and Ussuri Bays (the coast of Vladivostok in these bays is influenced by both sources with predominance of the second). The terrigenous impact has two modes depended on certain processes of contamination: the permanent pollution inherent in the types of secondary contamination and exponential growth and the extreme pollution that forms the polymodal dynamics. The secondary contamination follows the primary one with a lag of 6–7 years. The secondary contamination of terrigenous usually has inverse correlation with the Razdolnaya/Suifen River discharge; for instance, strengthening of the freshwater inflow causes lower concentrations of Cu and Pb in the bottom sediments due to dilution effect. On the contrary, contamination depends directly on the Razdolnaya/Suifen River discharge for the exponential growth of terrigenous — the stronger the freshwater inflow, the higher the concentrations of Fe, Ni, and phenols (the latter is a sign of eutrophication). The types of dynamics change following the balance between pollution and self-cleaning of the sediments that is determined by external factors, as a drop in economic activity and its subsequent recovery, limitation and finally ban for using of tetraethyl lead additive, extreme floods on rivers, etc.

The intensive development of irrigated agriculture in the Aral-Syrdarya water basin has had a significant impact on water quality in the Syrdarya River, with two main consequences. That is, fresh water reserves have decreased and the amount of pollutants has increased along with sewage, the main of which are various toxic salts. As a result, wastewater from irrigated lands, contaminated with various agrochemical wastes, mixes with river water, deteriorating the quality of the remaining water resources in the river. In addition to the agricultural sector, which is polluted with salts and agrochemical waste, it is worth noting the pollution of the industrial and domestic sectors with harmful substances from large areas. Water quality in the Syr Darya River in Kazakhstan is affected by pollutants from Uzbekistan. In the area of the village of Kokbulak (boundary station), the average annual concentration of 4 MPC (maxihttps:// oil products, up to 1 MPC, is discharged into the river water. Most of the analyzed samples have higher levels of nitrite, but high levels of contamination are not usually observed. Significant pesticide pollution is observed during the growing season. In the lower part of the Shardara reservoir, the level of pesticides in the water is significantly reduced, while the concentration of other pollutants remains high. The level of pesticide pollution in the lower reaches of the river increases and reaches its peak in the area of the modern (Kazalinsky) delta. In this part of the river, among other pollutants, there is a systematic increase in the concentration of oil products, nitrite nitrogen and organic matter. The impact of irrigated agriculture on the natural and ecological situation in the irrigated territories of Kazakhstan is determined by the Concept for the Development of Agriculture in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. The issue of stabilizing the ecological situation in the irrigated territories of Kazakhstan, restoring the ecological and reclamation situation is directly related to various water management regions of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The article deals with the issues of determining the damage caused by pollution of the Syrdarya River and assessing the amount of damage from pollution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Formulation of the problem. Water is one of the most important resources in the world. The Volyn region has significant reserves of surface and underground water, but irrational use of water resources leads to their depletion. Furthermore, today the anthropogenic loading on natural ecosystems is increasing, this factor leads to the deterioration of the ecological state of water resources. So that, research the peculiarities of the water using and ecological state of water bodies and underground aquifers is necessary for conservation and restoration water resources of the region. Review of previous publications and studies. The problem of water use in the Volyn region was being studied by many scientists. The information base of this article includes number scientific works, published by K. I. Herenchuk, F. V. Zuzuk, L. V. Ilin, Ya. O. Molchak, R. V. Migas, M. R. Zabokrytska, V. K. Khilchevskyi, V. O. Fesiuk, S. V. Polianskyi, T. S. Pavlovska, O. V. Ilina, M. A. Khvesyk, I. V. Sanina, H. H. Liutyi, L. I. Shevchuk and others. Moreover, statistical information about water use and state of water resources was given in the ecological passports, yearbooks of the Volyn region and Ukraine. Also, systematic observations of aquatic ecosystems are carried out by Regional water resources office in the Volyn region. Methods. The methodological base of the study is theoretical foundations of the doctrine of nature management. The authors applied mathematical-statistical, graphic and cartographic methods. Besides, methods of induction, deduction, comparative analysis and synthesis were used during the research. Results. The article is devoted to the study of water resources in the Volyn region, peculiarities of their use by the population and economy. The authors pay attention to the all sources of water in the Volyn region and characterize their distribution. It is mentioned that the most important source of water is aquifers. The authors give information about the structure of water use by type of economic activity. It is clarified that the largest consumers of water are agricultural enterprises and communal services. Agriculture consumes water resources for irrigation and other purposes, however, much water in this branch of economy is used irrationally. Also, large amount of extracted water is exploited for water supply of settlements in the Volyn region. But, only 5,5 % of the used water is consumed by industry, in particular, by food and sugar branch. Besides, the peculiarities of water usage in the administrative districts of the Volyn region are analyzed. The authors investigated that the biggest consumers of water are population and economy of Lutsk, Gorokhiv, Ivanychi and Volodymyr-Volynskiy districts, the least water usage is inherent for Shatsk, Lyubeshiv and Lokachinsky districts. Moreover, it is mentioned, that the features of water usage in the Volyn region change in time. For example, the amount of water consumption during 2000-2014 was decreasing as a result of socialeconomic causes. The article considers the problem of the influence of different sources of pollution on the water resources in the Volyn region. It is noted, that the most vulnerable to the anthropogenic loading are surface water bodies, they are polluted generally by untreated sewage. For example, river waters consist many pollutants, concentration of which exceeds the maximum permissible concentration. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The structure and dynamics of water consumption in the Volyn region is characterized for the first time. Particular attention is paid to the research of modern ecological state of surface and underground water resources in connection with water use and other economic activities. The results of this exploring will help to optimize water use and to conserve water resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim. To investigate the histological structure of fish tumors in the Volga Delta and the northern part of the Caspian Sea to assess the habitat quality of aquatic organisms.Material and Methods. Neoplasms identified in the following representatives of ichthyofauna were analyzed: black‐backed herring, roach, asp, perch, carp, pike, zander, catfish and bream. Biological material was collected during specialized scientific research expeditions to the Volga Delta in April‐October 2015‐2018. Sample analysis were carried out in accordance with standard histological techniques.Results. The research shows that tumors were localized both on the surface of the body and in the internal organs of fish. During the period of investigation individuals examined were diagnosed with the following cancers: adenomectomy, basal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, polypous cancer, rhabdomyoma, fibrosarcoma and follicular, epidermal papilloma. The most common pathology in the populations of semi‐migratory, migratory and river fish was a malignant tumor, fibrosarcoma, registered in six of the ten examined ichthyofauna species. Epithelial papilloma was most often observed in catfish. There were no oncological diseases were detected in rudd.Conclusions. Histological analysis of tumors recorded in the Volga ichthyofauna has shown that a number of identified disorders are irreversible and will inevitably lead to the reduction of fish resources as well as generally indicating the environmental problems of the habitat of aquatic organisms.

The paper describes the interpretation of the terms «ecologic potential» (EP) and «environmental and hydrogeological system», proposed by the author to assess the ability of the hydrogeological system to maintain or restore the properties of its self-organization under the influence of the man-caused stress. The environmental-hydrogeological systems developed within the boundaries of Pekhorskoe deposit of groundwater in the area of landfill «Kuchino», have been considered. The high level of the groundwater pollution of the lower-middle Quaternary aquifer as a system of the type I devoid of aeration zone as a result of storage of municipal solid waste (MSW), has been suggested. The evidence data of the groundwater quality of the aquifer Kasimov as the EGGS of type II has shown the formation of the high ecologic potential, stable for more than 50 years as a result of the processes of destruction in relation to nitrogen compounds, organic substances, petroleum products, anionic surfactants, pathogenic microorganisms, phenols. It is also shown that macro-components have a lower potential, which is provided by the processes of groundwater flow expansion of the the solid waste landfill.

Abstract. Aim. The aim of this work was to study the content of poisonous substances in the aquatic environment of the river Terek during the year of 2016 in the territory of the Chechen Republic. Materials and methods. Water samples of the river Terek were analyzed in the Laboratory of Environmental Control of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. Dry residue was determined by weight analysis; stiffness by acid-base titration; acid-base properties by potentiometric method; the ion content was determined spectrophotometrically; concentration of heavy metals was identified with voltammetric analyzer; concentration of calcium and magnesium ions was measured titrometrically with Trilon B in the presence of an appropriate indicator. Results. The intensity of contamination of the water body was assessed according to the following parameters: total hardness, dry residue, permanganate value, pH, chlorides, dissolved oxygen, sulfates, nitrates and heavy metals content. In the course of the study, sensory characteristics such as smell, taste, turbidity and color were also determined; indicator value - permanganate value, which characterizes the contamination of water bodies with industrial and household wastewater as well as atmospheric precipitation. Conclusion. Studies of the ecological state of Terek, the main river of the Chechen Republic, have shown that the quality of the water body corresponds to hygienic standards: the content of pollutants is much lower than the maximum permissible concentration. In terms of water quality, the Terek River belongs to the 2nd class of surface water bodies, the water quality characteristic is relatively clean and the river pollution index corresponds to II.

This article presents the Software as a service system that allows creating scenario modeling of pollution transfer for diffuse sources of pollution using the example of the Ili river basin (Republic of Kazakhstan). The development of technologies that determine hydrological state of the lake and water in it are analyzed. The practicability of modeling the discharges and distribution of pollutants is substantiated. The FORTRAN Hydrological Simulation Program software, a computer model that allows us to model the concentration of nitrate compounds (NO3), total ammonium, and biochemical oxygen consumption with one day time resolution for the period from 1980 to 2016 was described. The model was calibrated using the field observations data from 6 hydrological posts, which made it possible to obtain satisfactory water discharge values. To work with the system, a graphical interface was developed which allows the user who is not familiar with the FORTRAN Hydrological Simulation Program software to make calculations. Implemented was an algorithm for automated starting of scenario calculations with post-processing and presentation of results. The web-based approach facilitates multi-user, one-time and fast access to the system from anywhere in the world. The efficiency of results of programming was investigated and the dynamics of changes after using the FORTRAN Hydrological Simulation Program software was established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract. Aim. To study the morpho-functional state of reproductive organs of different-age specimens of the Caspian seal. Methods. We have analyzed the organs of the reproductive system of 26 females and 19 males of the Caspian seal, 29 of which are sexually mature specimens and 18 specimens are not sexually mature. The biological material was sampled during specialized research expeditions to the pre-winter herds in October-November 2012, 2014, 2015. The treatment of samples was carried out in accordance with the standard histology techniques. Results. In organs of the reproductive system of investigated fishes scientists have revealed various pathologies. Sexually maturity of males in testicles had the next violations: hyalinosis of the vessel walls: the absence of the layer of spermatogone: pyknosis of kernels of sperm. Pathologies in tests of immature males were not essential. Sexually maturity females had the signs of glandular endometrial hyperplasia. It is noted the signs of sclerous-cystous ovaries. In the uterus of immature females were revealed pathological changes due to inflammatory reaction; in the feeding substance of the ovaries it was discovered a significant number of interstitial glands. Such violations were registered by a number of authors under chronic intoxication (ecotoxicity). Main conclusions. Immature individuals have not expressed pathological changes, which are less expressed than in older age groups. Increased elimination of germ cells is a result of the damaging effects on the reproductive system of animals. Arduous duty of functioning may cause of the violation of the reproductive potential of the population,that on the background of ecological problem can lead to further reduction in the number of Caspian seal.
