[REAL AND UNREAL BACKLASHES OF AEROSPACE ACTIVITY FOR THE HEALTH OF POPULATION RESIDING NEAR AREAS OF FALL OF BEING SEPARATED PARTS OF CARRIER ROCKETS].

Since the late 1990s, the ongoing debate about the consequences of the rocket-space activities for the health of people residing near areas offall ofseparatingfrom parts of rockets. Some scientists (Kolyado IB et al., 2001, 2013; Shoikhet YN et al.

[THE STUDY OF MANIFESTATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL].

Elaborated methodological approaches to the monitoring of the state of ecological safety are based on the use of systems analysis of conditions and consistent patterns of the formation of the ecological danger search for effective means and methods of safety management. Ecological hazard is considered as a hierarchical structure, consisting of types, classes, species and subsubspecies. In industrially developed regions the most significant are technogenic and sociogenic classes.

[Assessment of the impact of environmental factors on the morbidity rate of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in adolescents of the city of Samara].

There were investigated the dynamics of the level of general and primary morbidity rate of respiratory, diseases and cardiovascular diseases in adolescents in the city of Samara and the relationship of these classes of diseases with the soil pollution by heavy metals in the area of the Promyshlenny district of the city. There was noted a marked rise of the level of primary and total morbidity on studied classes of diseases. There were revealed the moderate relationship between the content of copper and cadmium in the soil and the morbidity in adolescents in the studied area.

[The use of waste-derived adsorbents for improvement of the human environment].

Nanostructured adsorbents based on plant waste have been derived. Optimal technological parameters of process have been established Practical application of adsorbents produced with the use of nanotechnologies gives an opportunity to improve the indices of the refining of sunflower oil and increase the extent of the purification of sewage from heavy metal ions.

[Environmental security in the region with heavy exposure to sources of man-made earthquakes].

It is set that in separate regions substantial value at the study of terms of forming of ecological danger it is necessary to spare to research of vibrations of earth surface under effect of technogenic activity of man. Influence of technogenic earthquakes is investigational on a man and dwellings apartments medical and other establishments. Levels are set also intensities resulting in psychological discomfort.

[Use of blue-green algae for biogas production].

Perspectives for nature protection and energy-saving, by using blue-green algae, are discussed. Utilization of their phyto biomass for biogas manufacture will lead to the environmental normalization of the Transdniestria and allow one to have about 19,000,000 m3 of methane only from the water area of only one Kremenchug water basin each vegetative period (70 days).

Photothrombotic brain infarction results in seizure activity in aging Fischer 344 and Sprague Dawley rats.

This study was designed to determine whether photothrombotic brain infarction could result in epileptic seizures in adult animals. Male Fischer 344 (F344) rats at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 30 months of age and male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats at 2 and 6 months of age underwent photothrombotic brain infarction with the photosensitive dye rose bengal by focusing a wide (6 mm) or narrow (3 mm) diameter white light beam on the skull overlying left hemisphere anterior frontal, midfrontal, frontoparietal, or parietal areas. Animals were monitored with video and EEG recordings.

Melatonin protects neurons from singlet oxygen-induced apoptosis.

Singlet oxygen (O2[1 delta g]) is a very reactive molecule that can be produced by living cells and may contribute to cytotoxicity. The pineal hormone melatonin has been reported to possess potent antioxidant activity, and to be capable of scavenging O2(1 delta g). We investigated whether melatonin might reduce the neurotoxic action of O2(1 delta g).
