Hygienic Assessment of Bottled Water for Infant Nutrition as a Source of Essential Mineral Elements
BACKGROUND: To maintain and promote health from an early age, it is necessary to ensure an adequate intake of biologically active substances such as vitamins and minerals. Drinking water is an important source of minerals, especially under conditions of dietary deficiency. One proposed way of compensating for this deficiency is the use of packaged drinking water. To assess its contribution to the supply of trace elements in children, the intake o…
Features of Occupational Health Risks in the Russian Arctic (on the Example of Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug)
Working in the Arctic increases the risk of occupational diseases, which is especially important in the context of acute shortage of manpower in the region. The purpose of the study was to comparatively evaluate the working conditions and occupational pathology in Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO) and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (ChAO) of Russia. We analyzed the results of socio-hygienic monitoring "Working Conditions and Occupational Morbidity" in 200…
Health Risk Modifiers of Exposure to Persistent Pollutants among Indigenous Peoples of Chukotka
The aim of the study was to assess temporal trends in health risks related to most common persistent contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), lead (Pb), as well as mercury (Hg) among indigenous peoples living in coastal areas of Chukotka in Arctic Russia. This is examined in relation to exposure pathways and a range of social and behavioral factors capable of modifying the exposure to th…
Labor Conditions and Risk of Occupational Pathology at the Enterprises of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation
Human labor activity in the Arctic takes place in extreme climatic conditions, which significantly increase the indicator of integral professional risk. The aim of the research is to study working conditions and the risks of developing professional pathology among employees of enterprises in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). Methods. The data of socio-hygienic monitoring and information on occupational morbidity in the Russian Arc…
Socioeconomic and Behavioral Risk Factors of Disabilities Among the Indigenous Population in the Far North
Purpose: to study the socioeconomic and behavioral risk factors of disabilities among indigenous population of Far North and make proposals for their prevention. Methods: The study tested the level of income, employment, education and alcohol consumption on the basis of the survey and analyzed the data of the official statistics. We used Statistica v.12 and IBM SPSS Statistics v.22 for calculating the chi-square, Wilcoxon signed- rank test criter…
Description of Main Health Deterioration Risk Factors for Population Living on Territories of Active Natural Management in the Arctic
In the article, there have been presented literature data and given results of the authors’ own studies related to description of natural-climatic and anthropogenic health deterioration risk factors for population living in the Arctic. There have been singled out two main groups of risk factors specific for the Arctic regions
Main Trends of Change of Persistent Toxic Substances Concentrations in Blood of Arctic Region Indigenous Population
To address concerns arising from possible increased human exposure in the Arctic and possible effects of POPs, all circumpolar countries agreed in 1994 to monitor specific human tissues for contaminants in the Arctic under the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program. Indigenous volunteers in eight circumpolar countries contributed blood samples that were analyzed for 14 PCB congeners and 13 organochlorine pesticides. The blood concentrations of …
