Materials and methods
Health of employees of 6 enterprises who worked with radioactive materials was estimated (more than 175000 people).

Results
The analysis of incidence showed its growth for the observed period. This tendency is typical for the population of all country. The increase in incidence is caused by social and economic transformations in the country, aging of the personnel, and also improvement of quality of diagnostics at early stages of diseases by ultrasonography use. High incidence of blood circulatory system diseases, stomach ulcer and chronic bronchitis is possible to charge to psychophysiological tension and, perhaps, selective impact of harmful factors on a stomach that needs to be researched.

In average, over the period, the incidence of malignant neoplasms did not exceed those of the institutions of FMBA of Russia and the Russian Federation.

Mortality is lower in comparison with the data of the institutions of the FMBA of Russia and the Russian Federation that is due to the syndrome of "healthy worker".

Objective
Experience of Regional Department №118 of FMBA of Russia in the field of quality control of drinking water supply for population in the subordinated territory is presented. In this article features of use of natural waters of the southern part of the Lake Imandra for the purpose of drinking water supply for population in Polyarnye Zori and the Afrikanda-2 community are considered. Actual problems of drinking water supply of the population from a source with the raised content of organic substances are revealed and the ways of their solutions are proposed.

Materials and methods
Metrological certified techniques for quality control of natural and drinking waters according to the content of formaldehyde are used: PND F 14.1:2:4.187-02, PND F 14.1:2:4.84-96 (edition of 2003) and total indicators of water pollution (oxidability, Chemical Oxygen Consumption, Biochemical Oxygen Consumption 5): PND F 14.1:2:3:4.123-97, PND F 14.1:2:.100-97.

The assessment of research results is executed according to the SanPiN 2.1.4.1074-01 “Drinking water. Sanitary requirements to quality of systems of the centralized water supply. Quality control”, GN 2.1.5.1315-03 “Maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of chemicals in water of water objects of economic drinkable, cultural and domestic utilization”.

Results
The analysis of obtained data showed the following:

  1. Quality of water of the southern part of the lake Imandra is unstable on the indicators characterizing impurity by easy and complex oxidability organic substances. Thus the tendency to stable increase in the content of pollution on these indicators of rather average annual concentration within maximum concentration limit is observed.
  2. In water supply source water in places of water intakes in Polyarnye Zori and in Afrikanda-2 doesn't correspond to sanitary maximum concentration limits on formaldehyde from 10 to 25% of the studied tests respectively; the tendency to increase in the content of formaldehyde in distributive networks of drinking water supply at increase in concentration of formaldehyde in natural waters is revealed.

Recommendations about improvement of the centralized drinking water supply of the population in the subordinated territory are given.

Conclusions
Further studying of quality of natural waters is necessary in the lake Imandra for the purpose of receiving statistically reliable data and possibility of carrying out calculation of risk for health of the population from the use of water with the raised content of formaldehyde and organic substances.

It requires development of complex actions for protection of drinking water supply systems against pollution by toxic substances, modernization of the existing systems of water supply and process of technical solutions on the mode of their operation.

Objective
The objective is to define a condition of prevention and detectability of professional incidence and primary disability owing to professional diseases in the Orenburg region in 2004-2009.

Materials and methods
The analysis is carried out with the use of published materials of deputy hearings of Legislative Assembly of the Orenburg region “About health protection of the working citizens of the Orenburg region” from 28.01.2010, an annual form of federal state statistical supervision №7 social security for 2004-2009.

Results
199380 people in the Orenburg region work at 2121 industrial and agricultural facilities in the conditions of influence of harmful and dangerous factors, 73102 – 36.7% of them work in the conditions which aren't satisfy to sanitary standards.

For 2004-2009 in 3.5 thousand organizations and the enterprises of the Orenburg region 201.8 thousand workplaces were certified that makes nearly 25% from total workplaces (in the Russian Federation about 15%). In 2004 54% of workplaces didn't fit to admissible working conditions, in 2008 – 74.7%, in 2009 – 73%. Total amount in Russian Federation in 2009 was 69.2%.

Quality control of certification of 5492 workplaces on 42 objects revealed its poor quality. 40% of employers don't carry out the instruction of a certifying commission.

For 01.01.2010 there are about 1.5 thousand patients with occupational diseases in the Orenburg region. The level of professional incidence on 10 thousand of working population in the Orenburg region decreased from 1.2 in 2004 to 0.78 in 2009 – by 35%. The level of occupational disease in the Orenburg region is lower, than in the Russian Federation. In 2008 the level in the region was 0.53 and in Russia – 1.5. The level of revealed occupational diseases is inadequate to a state of working conditions.

For 2004-2009 in the Orenburg region for the first time 232 workers left work due to disability owing to occupational diseases; 202 (87.1%) of them were at working-age.

The level of primary disability owing to professional diseases has decreased: in adult population from 0.4 in 2004 to 0.15 in 2009 – for 62.5%, in working population from 0.5 to 0.18 – for 64%. The level of primary disability owing to professional diseases of adult population in region is lower, than in the Russian Federation. In 2009 is on 25% lower. At working age in 2006-2007 corresponded to the Russian Federation level, in other years was lower; in 2008 it was on 50% lower.

Conclusions
Professional incidence and primary disability owing to professional diseases tend to decrease and are in direct dependence on the activity of public authorities and local government directed on preservation and improvement of workers’ health.

Objective
The objective is to evaluate a condition of immunity and health of the natives of Far North of Russia living near Northern nuclear test site (Novaya Zemlya).

Materials and methods
Indicators of cellular and humoral immunity were studied in natives and visitors of the region of the Far North located near the Northern test site – the Nenets Autonomous Area and the Kola Peninsula, and also for comparison in the remote area – Chukotka Autonomous Area.

Data of medical statistics and primary medical documentation (outpatient cards and clinical records) were analyzed for the characteristic of mortality, incidence, the course of pregnancy and childbirth.

Results
The expressed abnormalities of cellular immunity, less considerable – humoral immunity, increase of infectious incidence, abnormalities of processes of pregnancy and childbirth are shown at natives of the European North of the Russian Federation – the Komi, Sami, Nenets. A cause of abnormality of immunity and health at natives of Far North is the stressful situation connected with change of traditional way of life and extreme ecological consequences. Pathological changes develop according to the scheme: stress - change in immunity - abnormality of health.

Conclusions
The stressful situation is a consequence of withdrawal pains of change of traditional way of life as a result of fast rates of industrial development of the North, tests of the nuclear weapon on New Earth, effect of toxic chemicals in combination with extreme living conditions; these cause abnormality of immunity and health of natives.

The combined action of small doses of radiation and toxic emissions of the chemical companies are needed to be studied.

Annotation:

Objective
The objective is to investigate efficiency of disinfection by high-disperse aerosols of the electroactivated chloride sodium water solution.

Materials and methods
The electroactivated disinfecting solution was obtained on the “STEL” installation (NPO “Ekran”, Moscow). Dispergation of a disinfectant was made by the original high-performance vortex acoustic generator.

Experimental samples were prepared by putting bacterial or virus suspension on a surface with various physical properties. Disinfection of samples was carried out in the 2.9 m3 aerosol camera or in the room of 80 m3.

Efficiency of decontamination was estimated by comparing quantity of viable cells on the prototypes processed by an electroactivated aerosol and control samples which processed an aerosol of physiological solution in the similar mode.

Toxicity of an aerosol of electroactivated solution was studied on white not purebred mice. In addition the assessment of influence of an aerosol of electroactivated solution in the course of disinfection on appearance of interior materials, operability of the electronic equipment and laboratory devices was carried out.

Results
It is shown that the aerosol of electroactivated solution had high biocidal activity. Efficiency of disinfection depended on a species of microorganisms, properties of contaminated surfaces and dispersion of an aerosol. The use of a high-disperse aerosol of electroactivated solution provided inactivation of grams - positive and gram - negative bacteria, micobacteria of tuberculosis, bacterial spores, viruses H5N1 and A H1N1 on various surfaces with high level of a contamination (1х106 CFC's/cm2 for bacterial and 1х106 EID50/cm2 of virus containing surfaces).

It is shown that for aerosol disinfection of the isolated room it was required from 25 to 100 ml of electroactivated solution for 1 m3. Disinfection didn't make toxic impact on experimental animals, and also didn't damage interior materials and laboratory equipment.

Conclusions
On the example of the use of aerosol with electroactivated solution it is shown high disinfecting efficiency of the fine aerosols used by the VAG vortex acoustic generator. The small expense of a disinfectant and absence of negative impact on environment allow to recommend the offered disinfection method for practical use.
