OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HYGIENE OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN THE CONTEXT OF HOSPITAL ENVIRONMENT SAFETY.

Objective: The aim: This study was conducted to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the occupational safety and health of medical workers.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study involved a questionnaire survey and full-scale physiological and hygienic research using bibliosemantic, questionnaire, hygienic, and statistical methods.

Results: Results: In the course of research it was recorded that the work of surgeons (according to the criteria of the current "Hygienic classification of work") is characterized by high intensity (class 3.

Ecological Role of and (Crustacea, Ostracoda) in Saline Rivers of the Lake Elton Basin: Abundance, Biomass, Production, Fatty Acids.

Saline rivers are highly productive ecosystems in arid regions. The meiobenthic community (bottom meiofauna) and its dominant representatives are one of the least studied components of these aquatic ecosystems. Ostracods and are major consumers among the species of bottom meiofauna in saline rivers flowing into the hyperhaline Lake Elton (Volgograd Region, Russia).

COVID-19 AS A STRESS TEST OF HEALTHCARE ESTABLISHMENTS EFFECTIVENESS AND RELIABILITY MEASURED NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY.

Objective: The aim: The authors aimed to estimate the healthcare environment risks and safety problems of the medical staff and patients, methods of neutralizing the negative public health effects and to suggest the new approaches to improved effectiveness and reliability of the healthcare establishments functioning under the emergencies.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study includes data of questioning of 163 healthcare workers of certain institutions in Ukraine using the questionnaire of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( the USA) on adherence to the patients' safety culture. In this study only the data on the patients' safety culture "response to mistakes" are represented.

HYGIENIC SUBSTANTIATION OF NECESSITY FOR MONITORING IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTS OF SDHI FUNGICIDES CONSIDERING THEIR POSSIBLE IMPACT ON THE THYROID GLAND.

Objective: The aim: Was hygienic substantiation of necessity for monitoring in the environmental objects of SDHI fungicides considering their possible impact on the thyroid gland.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: To test the proposed selection criteria for hygienic monitoring of pesticides that affect the thyroid gland, we evaluated 4 new SDHI fungicides from the chemical class of pyrazolecarboxamides (isopyrazam, pentiopyrad, sedaxan, fluxapyroxad).

Results: Results: Based on the results obtained, all studied compounds are assigned to the second pesticide group, hygienic monitoring of which is desirable but not required.

Environmental and occupational hazards of metal nanocompounds production and application: hygienic, clinical and toxicological aspects.

Introduction: Nanometals are the most common nanoobjects, used nearly in all industrial branches. Considerable advances in the nanotechnological production have led to progressive use of nanomaterials in industry, though occupational safety of the nanoindustry staff is insufficiently studied.

The Aim: Estimation of labor safety during production of metal nanoparticles for the purpose of defining necessary and efficient preventive measures.
