Materials and methods: In the study, we used the statistical data from the reference book of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for 2017 on the incidence, disability, mortality of the population of Ukraine and the level of the provision of the medical care of the population, namely, the provision of doctors, nurses, and beds in the hospital to determine the human health index and the index of medical provision of the population of Ukraine. Results: The health index, developed by various authors, did not meet the requirements of the WHO and it has not found its application in healthcare practice yet. The Human Health Index (HHI) has been created by us by analogy with the methodology for the calculation of the Human Development Index (HDI). The calculations show that the lower the human health index, the health level of the population should be considered the worst, and the higher it is, the health level should be considered the best. Having calculated the average value of the index 0.603 and 0.117, we found that the average values of the index lie in the range of 0.603 ± 0.117, i.e., from 0.513 to 0.747.Values below 0.513 are considered low, and above 0.747 - high indices of human health. The average group values of the index of the medical provision of the population in the group of regions with a good health of the population were 0.601, with a satisfactory health – 0.515, with unsatisfactory health – 0.562. Analysis of variance showed that these values did not differ significantly from each other (F = 0.56; p> 0.05). Therefore, all groups of the population in the regions with different health levels have approximately the same level of medical care provision. Conclusions: The above results of the analysis using the necessary methods of mathematical statistics are a cause to assert that the proposed integral indices of human health and medical provision of the population, which adequately reflect the reality and simplicity of the application, can be recommended for the use in the practice of medical statistics both at the level of the Ministry of Health and at the level of the WHO. The level of the health of the population and its provision with medical care in the context of separate regions or countries can be compared with their help.","PeriodicalId":11686,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"20-28"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46548648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: It was established that conducted treatment in the patients, ore mining and iron and steel industry workers with the use of bronchodilator, mucoregulator, anti-inflammatory agent of a complex vitamin medication, as well as sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation at 1.3 atm led to a decrease in the activity of inflammation processes with regard to the content in the peripheral blood of the total number of leukocytes, their stab and segmented subpopulations, and a decrease in most intoxication indices: the leukocytic index of intoxication, the granulocytic-agranulocytic index, the general index of intoxication, the sinistroposition index, the index of the ratio of leukocytes to erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which indicates a decrease in the systemic inflammation activity with the simultaneous suppression of intoxication phenomena. In comparison with the patients with other occupational lung pathology, the comprehensive treatment led to a more significant decrease in the content of segmented and stab leukocytes, as well as the main integral intoxication indices: the leukocytic index of intoxication, the granulocytic-agranulocytic index, and the general index. Thus, the comprehensive treatment of ore mining and iron and steel industry workers having the pneumoconiosis combined with the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an important link in the system of measures aimed at treatment and prevention ofthis occupational pulmonary pathology. Conclusions: In the ore mining and iron and steel industry workers having the pneumoconiosis combined with the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,the comprehensive treatment with the use of bronchodilator, mucoregulator, nebulizer-administered anti-inflammatory agent, a complex vitamin B medication administered intramuscularly, as well as sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation led to an improvement in some inflammation indicators and intoxication indices which is a predictor of a positive course of the disease. The assessment of the results of the conducted comprehensive treatment of the workers indicates a significant positive dynamics of intoxication processes and makes it possible to regard this treatment as an important link in the system of measures aimed at treatment and preventionofthisoccupational pulmonary disease.","PeriodicalId":11686,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"42-48"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43007978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: 16 detergents for children's clothes washing were purchased at the supermarkets of Kyiv. In our study we applied sanitary-and-chemical research methods: express method for the assessment of the anionic surfactants on the clothes fabrics; an extraction-photometric method for the determination of the the residual amount of the main active substances of the anionic surfactants in the experimental sample. Results: The analysis of the results shows that there is a significant difference in the surfactant amount in the wastewater after washing with powder and liquid detergents based on the synthetic anionic surfactants and natural soap. Therefore, the anionic surfactants are rinsing best of all from the clothes washed with the detergents based on natural soaps (Soaps “Droog”, “Clean & White”, “Kroha”). After washing of the children's clothes with powder and liquid detergents for automatic washing based on synthetic anionic surfactants, the residual amount of the anionic surfactants on the fabrics exceeds the accepted hygienic standard. Conclusions: It has been discovered that even after repeated rinsing, the fabrics, treated with washing powder and liquid detergents, contain the residual amount of the anionic surfactants that exceeds normative parameters (8 of 13 investigated detergents based on the anionic surfactants) by 2-3 times. Taking into account a specificity of children’s functional skin state, especially the incompletely formed multistage protection system, it is recommended to use the detergents based on natural soap and products containing less than 5% of the surfactants for washing of the clothes of the children aged 0 to 6 years.","PeriodicalId":11686,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"66-71"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47971924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
