The relevance of study arises from the great number of objects of accumulated environmental damage (OAED) in the Russian Federation and the necessity to identify those that are subject to immediate elimination. \u0000The aim of this study was to test methodical approaches to estimating actual OAED, assign them into categories, and rank them as per health risk indicators; also, we generalized the results obtained by estimating 192 objects in 2022. \u0000Materials and methods. Fuzzy set theory was used as a methodical base for analyzing the results. Method makes it possible to analyze a great number of both quantitative and qualitative heterogeneous variables, as one complex. Matrices with each indicator estimated in terms of influence on human health were filled in for each type of objects. \u0000Results. Health risk assessment did not identify any objects that could be assigned into an ‘extremely high risk’ category. 17 OAED (8.9 %) were ranked as ‘high risk’ objects (R=0.76÷0.60). 101 OAED (52.6 %) – as ‘average risk’ objects (R=0.39÷0.58). 72 objects (37.5 %) created ‘moderate risks’ (R=0.45÷0.21). Two objects were considered ‘low risk’ ones (R=0.33÷0.20). \u0000Limitations. Quantitative data describe only 192 examined objects located in specific geological and climatic-geographical conditions. \u0000Conclusion. The study results give evidence that applied methods are relevant, flexible, and provide correct comparative estimations of OAED of various origin, types of accumulated wastes, existence, and locations. The regulatory and legal base for estimation of ОАЕD further development considering health risk indicators for determining priority of its elimination. Targeted studies with elements of human biomonitoring would become an additional factor providing more solid evidence of OAED negative effect on health, which allows determining the relevance of the elimination of the object assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of measures to eliminate objects.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43795960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phenol and its derivatives are widely distributed in the environment. To assess the risk of the negative impact of phenols on human health, data on their content in biological media are needed. \u0000Purpose of research. Development of a sensitive and selective method for the determination of phenol and catechol in the whole blood by HPLC. \u0000Materials and methods. The studies were carried out on a Shimadzu liquid chromatograph with an RF-20A fluorimetric detector. The efficiency of extraction of analytes from the matrix was checked by methods of liquid and solid phase extraction, QuEChERS. The metrological parameters of the measurement technique were experimentally established. Approbation of the method was carried out during the analysis of whole blood in children living in territories with various technogenic impacts. \u0000Results. The developed method makes it possible to determine phenol and catechol in whole blood at the level of 0.005–0.5 mg/dm3 with an error of ≤33%. The degree of extraction of phenol from whole blood by the QuEChERS method is 100%, pyrocatechol – 75%. A significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) average group content of phenol and pyrocatechol was established in the whole blood of children living in an ecologically loaded area compared to a conditionally clean area by 2.1 times. \u0000Limitations. The study of the content of phenol and pyrocatechol in the whole blood in the child population is limited by the number of territories and examined children. To establish the background content of phenol and catechol in the whole blood of the child population at the population level under conditions of environmental stress and outside the zone of anthropogenic influence, it is necessary to conduct more extensive studies in various territories covering a larger number of examined children. \u0000Conclusion. The developed method can be used in hygienic research to assess the risk of phenols exposure to the health of the child population living in areas with various anthropogenic pressure.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47614682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of hygienic evaluation methods of water objects are based on physicochemical analysis of water samples. These methods can’t be considered as consistent in determination of full range of pollutants. Sanitary chemical analysis of water environment, coupled with biological testing seems to be more informative. One of the most prospective research trends nowadays is using human cell lines as test objects. During the preparation of this review, there were used following database sources: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, RISC. As a conclusion of performed sources analysis, we can point at high sensitivity of cell lines, extracted from human digestive (Caco-2, HepG2) and excretory systems (HEK-203) to the influence of pollutants taken from different water sources. The data obtained by the authors indicate both a cytopathic effect and a change in the cytochemical and cytomorphological characteristics of cell cultures under the influence of pollutants in water. The use of human cell cultures as test objects in water biotesting is an urgent direction in the study of water supply sources for drinking and household needs of the population without preliminary purification. The use of human cell cultures in the biotesting of water makes it possible to give not only a toxicological characteristic of water samples, but also to assess the possibility of developing an undesirable effect associated with the ingress of pollutants into the internal environment of the body.","PeriodicalId":12550,"journal":{"name":"Gigiena i sanitariia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47958366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
