Risk Parameters

Irkutsk region is among territories of intense industrial development. Considerable part of the regional population is long exposed to chemical pollutants of environmental objects. Th e authors evaluated carcinogenic risk for the population of industrial centers and rural area. Findings are that maximal carcinogenic risk is carried by the urban population. Aggregated carcinogenic risk parameters evaluation proved inhalation to be a priority route of exposure. Irkutsk region appeared to have territories with high carcinogenic risk for public health. Among a list of chemicals in the ambient air are priority carcinogens: six-valent chromium and lead. The evidences necessitate measures on the risks minimization. Due to absent data on carcinogens content of drinkable water in some rural area, the necessity is to evaluate risk for the rural population by studies of drinkable water quality that does not match hygienic regulations, because oral one is a main route of carcinogens intake.

The analysis of cases of detection of bacteria of the genus Aeromonas in clinical material from various loci of patients of medical organizations was carried out. Their species diversity, isolation in monoculture and associations, resistance to antibiotics and spring-autumn rises indicate the etiological significance of these microorganisms in the infectious process. To improve the biological safety of aquatic biotopes, it is important to study their microbiocenosis, in particular, the circulation of bacteria of the genus Aeromonas, in order to obtain information on pathogenic properties, antibiotic resistance, and seasonal fluctuations. To prevent the spread of Aeromonas infections, it is necessary to carry out sanitary and bacteriological studies of water bodies, environmental objects and food products.

BACKGROUND: For today, the most important and discussed issue in the professional medical community is the problem of prevention and treatment of a new coronaviral infection (COVID-19). The main reason for the non-decreasing increase in morbidity and mortality is the absence of an etiotropic drug. In our study, it is proposed to use a previously available drug for the treatment of tick-borne encephalitis, ribonuclease A, obtained from the pancreas of cattle. AIM: The aim of investigation was to study the antiviral activity of RNаse A against SARS-CoV-2 in in vitro experiments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experiment used samples of 50 patients with a confirmed (by PCR) primary diagnosis of a new coronoviral infection COVID-19. The preparation for the study was served by ribonuclease A (neoFroxx GmbH, Germany) at a concentration of 0.5; 1; 5 and 10 mg/ml, incubated at 4 and 37C, the exposure was 20 minutes, 20 hours. A set of reagents OTT-PCR-RV-SARS-CoV-2 (Syntol, Russia) was used as test systems. RESULTS: of the current study is the revealed antiviral activity of ribonuclease A at a minmal concentration of 0.5 mg/ml during incubation from 20 minutes to 20 hours, in the temperature range of 437C. CONCLUSIONS: The data obtained in the in vitro study confirmed the ability of ribonuclease A to destroy viral RNA, which suggests the possible use of the drug both for the treatment of patients and for the treatment of environmental objects.

The special mobile diagnostic group (MDG) is formed in the Federal State Budgetary Establishment «33 Central Scientific Research Test Institute» of the Ministry of Defenсe of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the institute) to perform tasks related to the radiation and chemical (RCh) control of different objects, to ensure RCh safety and security of mass events, as well as to perform special tasks of RCh examination of samples of all kinds. The purpose of the work is to consider the design, capabilities and organization of the mobile complex of chemical control (MCCC), which is the basis of the technical equipment of the MDG. The complex is created on the basis of Ford-Transit off-road vehicle with the equipment for the MDG and a container installed on a two-axle platform, where the equipment for the MDG is located. The complex is equipped with modern analytical equipment, means of communications, navigation, information processing and automatic meteorological observation, with the life support kit, autonomous power and water supply systems, exhaust ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems. The technical characteristics of the MCCC are as follows: crew – 8 people; preparation time – no more than 60 minutes; time for the preliminary identification of substances detected by the mobile group (from the moment of arrival) – no more than 60 minutes; the lower limit of detection of toxic chemicals in environmental objects – at the maximum concentration limit; time of confirming identification of detected toxic chemicals (from the moment of delivery of samples) – no more than 180 minutes; cruising range – up to 700 km. The methodological apparatus is also developed, that ensures the functioning of the MCCC crew during the performance of wide range of tasks of the MDG. Subsequently, this methodological apparatus has been repeatedly expanded and refined based on the results of the complex's participation in ensuring the RCh security of various mass events. The algorithm of carrying out special chemical control by technical means of the MCCC complex is presented in the article. The complex is capable of detecting both low-hazard and emergency concentrations of practically all known toxic chemicals in various samples, and identifying these substances in environmental objects.

The Impact

The results of an epidemiological study of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical zone of the Kyrgyz Republic are presented. The presence of a chronic focus of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical province with high levels of morbidity has been established. The leading factor in transmission is water, primarily from the Mailuu-Suu river, which is also contaminated with radionuclides. The main feature of typhoid fever in the territory of the uranium biogeochemical province is the registration of cases of diseases throughout the year, which differs from non-polluted areas, where cases are detected only in the warm months. This feature can be associated with the impact of the radiation factor on the pathogen by increasing its resistance, and on the human body by reducing immunological reactivity. This assumption requires more detailed research. For the complete elimination of typhoid fever in the study area, comprehensive measures are required throughout the year, aimed at providing the population with clean drinking water, identifying sources of infection, including bacterial carriers, and their treatment, as well as monitoring bacteriological studies of environmental objects throughout the calendar year.

The problem of cleaning coke oven gas from sulfur compounds, despite their recent decrease in the raw material base of coking, remains relevant in connection with the requirements to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. When using monoethanolamine for the purification of coke oven gas from sulfur compounds, production workers are faced with the problems of determining the exact concentration both in solutions and in coke oven gas and in environmental objects. The article provides an overview of the currently existing methods for the quantitative determination of the content of monoethanolamine in liquid and gaseous media. The results of studies of the possibility of their use in the conditions of by-product coke production are presented, directions of improvement of the known methods are determined in order to eliminate the influence of accompanying components inherent in by-product coke production (in particular, ammonia, amines, phenols, etc.), which distort the analysis results. The authors describe the methods of increasing the selectivity of analytical methods for determining the content of monoethanolamine in: – coke oven gas - based on the absorption of the test substance from coke oven gas by a solution of orthoboric acid, followed by its determination in a solution with pnitrophenyldiazonium; – the air of the working area under the conditions of by-product coke production - it was proposed to eliminate the negative effect of hydrogen sulfide and phenol using an absorber containing a sodium hydroxide solution located in front of the absorber with a hydrochloric acid solution for monoethanolamine (a revised measurement procedure with additions set out in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation in the field of metrology and established metrological characteristics, agreed by the Chief Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine). The directions of research necessary for the development of a method for determining the content of monoethanolamine in process waters of coke-chemical production are outlined. Keywords: desulfurization, monoethanolamine, content determination, selectivity, ammonia, p-nitrophenyldiazonium, coke oven gas, complex compound, color intensity, photometry, measurements.

Adverse climatic and anthropogenic factors can affect the health of people living near the dried-up Aral Sea. There was modified the comprehensive assessment of inorganic chemical pollution of the environment of the village in the Zhosaly Kyzylorda region of Kazakhstan. The comprehensive assessment score included 5 categories: satisfactory, intense, critical, crisis, catastrophic. According to own research over 2014-2015 based on the mentioned assessment score, the comprehensive assessment score amounted to 41 points and showed a critical situation. In the air, there was observed the phenol content of 1.02 MAC, suspended solids - 0.5 MAC. The main part of the fine suspended solids sized of 1.5-2.5 mm, round shape, was formed in the process of condensation and evaporation of the sea and the Syr Darya River. In the dust, there was found the excess in silicon content of 2.8 MAC, iron - 1.3 MAC, zinc 1.1 MAC. As soil pollutants, there were detected sulfates - of 173.5 MAC, chlorides - 9.0 MAC, mercury - 0.56 MAC, nickel - 0.49 MAC. In drinking water, there was revealed cadmium excess of 1.3 MAC, nickel - 1.2 MAC, chlorides - 1.25 MPC, sulfates - 1.0 MAC. In the water of the Syr Darya River, there was revealed an excess in nickel - of 2.2 MAC, sulfates - 1.8 MAC, dissolved oxygen - 2.0 MAC. In the sediments of the Syr Darya river, the sulfate content accounted for 3.36 MAC and chlorides - 1.53 MAC. In the snow cover there was revealed an excess of manganese - 5.14MPC, chromium - 2.04 MAC, zinc - 1.2 MAC. In a critical situation a significant portion (30-50%) of the population may be in a state of exertion and adaptation surge, and the most susceptible part seems to be in a state of adaptation failure, characterized by an increase in incidence rate.
