[Provision of integrity and reliability in hygienic examination of investment projects for human capital development].

To reach normal competitiveness in world division of labour, investment projects should stimulate development of human capital towards advance of modern technologies and organizational development of all types of labour. At present time there are only separate calculations of certain types of people's health damage and completely disparate matters of damage compensation exceptionally for chemical contamination effects. The purpose of the paper is development of algorithms to provide hygienic welfare of human capital in investment projects.

[Economic and legal problems in the study of nanotechnologies in human hygiene and ecology].

The paper considers the material,economic, and social bases of human vital functions on the verge of application of nanotechnologies to practice, as well as the economic, social, and ecological-and-hygienic prospects for their introduction. The authors propose to improve the institutional structure of a state for the provision of a human priority at the introduction stage of nanotechnologies. They justify the need for applying the right of ownership to a citizen's health and for harmonizing this right with other economic, cultural, and environmental ones.

[Problem in compensation for socioecological damage].

The paper considers theoretical approaches to and rules of thumb for compensation for socioenvironmental damage at the municipal level. There is evidence for the necessity of designing a uniform present-day package of methods to calculate the damage with a uniform complex of evaluation of all factors, both quantitative and non-quantitative ones. The authors propose to finish off early developed procedures to specify and quantify a health-exposure relationship, and to have a more adequate market economic interpretation of the above phenomena.

[Evaluation of cost-efficiency of improved life quality: methodological problems].

The paper deals with theoretical approaches to and practical methods of economic interpretation and measurement of negative changes in human health, quality of life. There is evidence that it is necessary to evaluate the health status as guidelines for estimating the cost effectiveness of hygienic recommendations. The authors propose guidelines for determining the contribution of individual pollution sources.
