[The ecological and hygienic aspects of the use of surface-active substances in oil-producing regions of Ukraine].

Use of surface-active substances (SAS) in the oil-extracting regions of the Ukraine should consider the fact that this is a rather small territory, densely populated, with environmental water and soil problems, significant contamination of several areas by pesticides, mineral fertilizers and complicated by the Chernobyl accidents sequels. SAS may influence the ecological-hygienic balance of the environment, they may enhance migration of many ingredients, increase their toxicity. The authors propose several measures aimed at improving the quality of preventive and actual state inspection over the oil enterprises.
