Comparative Study[Scientific rationale for a scheme for the environmental and hygienic assessment of a solid domestic waste burial ground].
A scheme for the environmental and hygienic assessment of a functioning solid domestic waste (SDW) burial ground was experimentally tested, by taking into account regional features. The study involved the assessment of climatic, geological, and hydrogeological features of the region, the sanitary-and-hygienic assessment of the activity of a SDW burial ground, and the hygienic assessment of ambient air, soil, and water in the SDW burial ground functioning area. The developed scheme may be used to modify a manufacturing inspection program.

Comparative Study[Ways of urban sanitary and epidemiological well-being management].
The scientific rationale for preventive measures based on sanitary-and-epidemiological surveillance on environmental objects is considered. The sizes of functional zones and space for various types of communal services and amenities and leisure are regulated to ensure good urban vital activities. Multistorey housing causes an increase in the number of negative factors per area units and in their impact on health. ⋯ The general layout may use statistical observation parameters characterizing the second level of occurrence of negative phenomena. The statistical observation parameters characterizing the third and fourth levels of occurrence of negative phenomena may be used for municipal improvements and sanitary maintenance. These characterizing the fourth and fifth level may be used for prevention in therapeutic-and-prophylactic institutions.

Comparative Study[Hygienic assessment of ambient air pollution in the tobacco plant and highway areas].
The study deals with the hygienic assessment of ambient air pollution in the tobacco plant and highway areas. Due to the fact that the emissions of both sources contain the same substances having odor, it is very difficult to define the role of each source in ambient air pollution. ⋯ Analysis showed that after industry modernization, the role of a plant in ambient air pollution reduced as the concentrations of tobacco dust, a specific pollutant characteristic only of the enterprise, became lower to the levels below the calculated ones. The concentrations of the pollutants that were common to each source of pollution were decreased, but insignificantly, and exceeded the calculations of dispersion, which suggests the prevailing role of motor transport in ambient air pollution of this area.

[Problems in harmonization of hygienic requirements for swimming pools with the international recommendations].
The paper considers the ways of harmonizing the hygienic requirements for the safe use of swimming pools. It proposes a procedure for substantiating the safe use of water disinfectants on the basis of real exposure factors, by bearing in mind their complex action. The proposed procedure is comparatively assessed with the methods and criteria laid down in foreign normative documents.
