FEATURES OF THE SEASONAL COURSE OF THE PATHOGENICITY INDEX IN THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN

Weather and climate affects the health and performance of a person. In weather-sensitive people, a sharp change in the weather can be accompanied by deterioration in health and exacerbation of chronic diseases. With the purpose of revealing comfortable and uncomfortable weather conditions for human health on the basis of a complex account of meteorological elements the estimation of some bioclimatic characteristics in the territory of Tatarstan is given. In this work we used in detail urgent and daily meteorological measurements of actinometric stations of the republic. The choice of the study period was based on the availability of homogeneous data. Bioclimatic pathogenicity index shows the adverse effect on humans in the aggregate of such climatic indicators as air temperature and atmospheric pressure, their changes during the day, relative humidity, duration of sunshine, wind speed. The performed analysis of calculations of the total pathogenicity index shows that comfortable weather conditions are more often manifested in summer period of the year. Repeatability of discomfort weather increases in transitional seasons (spring and autumn), and the most acute conditions in terms of pathogenicity index values are revealed in winter months.
