[ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL RISK FOR CONTAMINATION OF SURFACE WATER RESERVOIRS BY PATHOGENS OF HUMAN PARASITIC DISEASES].

Sanitary and parasitological studies of the waste effluents and surface reservoir waters were conducted in the south of Russia. The efficiency of purification of waste effluents from the pathogens of parasitic diseases was investigated in the region's sewage-purification facilities. The water of the surface water reservoirs was found to contain helminthic eggs and larvae and intestinal protozoan cysts because of the poor purification and disinfection of service fecal sewage waters.

[Effect of microwave on migration in the model environment of chemicals from materials that come into contact with foodstuffs].

Under the influence of microwaves is migration of chemical and metals used in manufacture for these furnaces. This confirms the need for research to develop modes of training materials used in the manufacture of utensils used in microwave ovens.
