Introduction: Martial law continues to operate in Ukraine, in which the primary task of the state is to preserve the health and life of the population. The priority in this regard is the prevention of the harmful influence of martial law conditions on the formation of children's bodies and the creation of conditions for their upbringing and education. Proceeding from the above, the solution to the issues regarding collective civil protection should be carried out through the construction/reconstruction of civil protection facilities, taking into account the specific conditions for both the adult population and the children's contingent. Objective: there is the development of sanitary and hygienic requirements for civil defense structures of public and residential buildings during the period of martial law and their use in the post-war state - as dual-purpose structures, taking into account the experience of warring countries. Research methods: research methods are used in the work: bibliosemantic, analytical, hygienic and sanitary-epidemiological examination of construction projects. The materials of the research were the sanitary, urban planning and educational legislations of Ukraine and other countries in the field of designing civil defense structures of residential and public buildings, construction projects of public and residential buildings. Results: the article highlights the activities of the Laboratory, which is aimed at studying the hygienic urban planning problems of the comprehensive restoration of settlements (territories) that suffered as a result of hostilities, terrorist acts, and the development of hygienic criteria for their reconstruction in order to create safe living conditions of the population, in particular ensuring the conditions of collective civil protection in civil protection facilities of public and residential buildings. Conclusion: The activities of urban planning specialists in the direction of hygienic assessment of urban planning documentation of settlements affected by hostilities and the development of requirements for safe living of the population should be aimed at strengthening the safety determinant of public health by creating optimal conditions for collective civil protection of the population in civil protection structures of public and residential buildings - for the period of martial law and construction - the use of these structures in a dual location.

Objective: determination of the nature and features of changes in biochemical indicators in the blood of animals under conditions of chronic exposure to different concentrations of chloroform and aluminum sulfate in drinking water in an isolated and combined state to substantiate the criteria for hygienic evaluation of their adverse effects on the body. Materials and methods: combined effect of chloroform and aluminum sulfate on biochemical indicators. Results: According to the results of biochemical studies, it should be noted that the most pronounced changes were observed in groups of animals that were exposed to CLF and Al in isolation at the level of 3 MPC and 5 MPC, and in groups of animals with combined exposure to the specified substances - CLF + Al at the level of 3 MPC аnd 5 MPC. A decrease in the content of AsT and an increase in the level of AlT in the above experimental groups of animals may indicate functional disorders of the liver, especially its enzymatic function. The indicated changes in the content of glucose and amylase in the blood as indicators of carbohydrate volume may indicate the activation of the processes of glycogenesis and glycolysis in the animal body, which may lead to functional disorders of the pancreas. Іt was established that the nature and severity of the effects depended on the nature of the influence of the studied factors (isolated or combined action), their MPC levels, and the time of exposure. Conclusions. The nature and features of changes in biochemical indicators in the body of experimental animals during a six-month chronic sanitary-toxicological experiment with isolated and combined effects of chloroform and aluminum sulfate in drinking water may indicate metabolic disorders in organs and changes in the intensity of regenerative processes at the cellular level in response to the adverse effects of toxicants. Such a tendency to imbalance indicators can be a kind of indicator of metabolic compensatory changes in the body under the influence of a complex of factors, depending on the current level and duration of action.

The relevance of the problem lies in the fact that today's wartime causes distress in the majority of the population, which affects all systems and structures of the body and leads to psychosomatic disorders. The body's reaction to prolonged round-the-clock stress is accompanied by the depletion of relevant vitamins and microelements involved in stress adaptation mechanisms, and the accompanying polynutrient deficiency deepens the consequences of distress. The purpose of the work: based on the principles of nutrition of people with increased psycho-emotional stress, to determine the necessary food products and the most important nutrients for alimentary prevention of chronic stress and stress adaptation during martial law. The results. The conducted analysis shows that even in the difficult conditions of wartime, it is possible to reduce anxiety and reduce stress by correcting the diet. To support the body, it will be enough to consume even the simplest, budget products. You should consume protein foods (both animal and vegetable protein) and avoid foods with a high content saturated (solid) fats and sugar, because they only give a small influx of energy, and in the future lead to negative consequences. Conclusions. A diet with a high content of fiber and fresh vegetables is necessary, providing an anti-stress reserve and a resource of vitamins A, C, group B and necessary trace elements. In addition, various cereals, bread, starchy vegetables contain slow carbohydrates, which will help maintain a feeling of satiety. Correcting and minimally diversifying food will help strengthen sleep, calm the nervous system and reduce stress.

The aim of the work is to establish a relationship between polymorphisms of the FC and the state of hyperhomocysteinemia in children living in areas bordering the ChEZ). Research methods: laboratory, genetic, mathematical-statistical. Results: The levels of homocysteine (Hcy) in blood and genetic polymorphisms of the folate cycle (FC) were determined in 690 children (322 boys and 368 girls) aged 8-17 years old living near the ChEZ. It was found that 97.8% of the children had genotypes with risk alleles of FC polymorphisms. The most common combinations of 2 and 3 polymorphic variants. The proportion of hyperhomocysteinemia cases was recorded in 62.5% of those examined and did not generally depend on the number of FC polymorphisms with risk alleles. Unlike their mothers, there was no correlation between blood Hcy concentration and the number of FC polymorphisms with risk alleles in children. The frequency of hyperhomocysteinemia cases in boys was likely higher than in girls. Hyperhomocysteinemia was detected in 40% of cases among children with no risk alleles for FC genetic polymorphisms. Genotypes with allele variants of one FC polymorphism were found in 15% of cases. High frequency of hyperhomocysteinemia was recorded both in the subgroup with T/T MTHFR:677 genotype and in most genetic subgroups. A high frequency of hyperhomocysteinemia, with four polymorphisms with risk alleles, was associated with compound heterozygotes A/CMTHFR:1298 and C/TMTHFR:677 in combination with A/G MTR genotypes: A2756G and G/G A66G. The homozygous variant of the neutral allele A of the MTRR:A66G genetic polymorphism, which controls methionine synthase reductase, contributed to the improvement of Hcy methylation processes in risk allele variants of three FC polymorphisms. Conclusions: The conducted studies indicate that in children of the second Chоrnobyl generation, who have been living in conditions of constant radiation exposure in areas affected by the Chоrnobyl accident since birth, the occurrence of hyperhomocysteinemia is not associated with a specific genotype and the number of FC polymorphisms with risk alleles. The results obtained indicate the participation of genetic and environmental factors in the occurrence of hyperhomocysteinemia in the population of children living in areas located near the ChEZ.

Materials and methods. The following methods were used in the work: bibliographic; questionnaire method; statistical - for further application of correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation method); mathematical methods - for quantitative assessment of indicators of self-assessment of the state of health and ecological and valeological awareness of young people. A survey of medical students was conducted in the cities of Kyiv and Lutsk. The sample of the study is 276 participants aged from 16 to 21 years old. The questionnaire of the World Health Organization (WHO) was adapted for the survey, the structure of which includes the following main characteristics: physical condition; limitation of activity due to physical condition; feeling pain; emotional condition; limitation of activity due to emotional state; difficulties in active communication caused by physical and emotional state; maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The basic data of the participants are age and gender. Results. The results of the questionnaire were converted into rank variables for further application of correlation analysis. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was found that: there is a significant relationship between the physical and emotional states of the interviewees (p<0.01); because of the emotional state, there are difficulties in work and everyday activities for both girls (p<0.01) and boys (p<0.05); physical condition leads to limitations in work and everyday activities more often in girls (p<0.001); girls are more sensitive to pain (p<0.001); the possibility of active communication in girls, unlike boys, depends on both emotional and physical condition. Thus, the performed research makes a significant contribution to solving the issues of health formation of the younger generation and recognizing the role in this process of the lifestyle of modern youth.

The aim of work was to determine the priority objects of observation and criterion indicators of their pollution as a result of military actions. Research materials and methods: bibliographic, bibliosemantic, hygienic, analytical. Scientific sources containing materials of international experience in studying the impact of military operations on the environment and living conditions of the population are included in the analysis. Results. Based on the generalization of literature data and our own research carried out in the prewar period, the possible consequences of environmental pollution as a result of military operations are analyzed and their main dangers are identified. It is shown that the soil is the main object where the harmful factors of hostilities accumulate. In places of warfare, fuel, oil products, chemical residues, fragments of explosives (mines, shells, missiles) are impregnated into the soil, the chemical elements of which pose a threat not only now, but also determine the danger in the future. In particular, it has been shown that heavy metals and their oxidation products, combustion products and numerous fires cause stable environmental pollution with such stable compounds as heavy metals (lead, cobalt, cadmium, molybdenum, nickel, zinc, manganese, etc.), as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are all stable in the environment, in particular in soils, where they accumulate and circulate through the chains of «air - soil - water - plants - animals – humans», and thus will affect the health of the population for many years to come. secondary pollution of atmospheric air and food products, especially of plant origin, grown in contaminated areas. Conclusion: the environmental pollution was analyzed in the places where military equipment, heavy vehicles, fuel, shells, oil products, etc. are stored. The possibility of acute and chronic exposure, which creates conditions for the accumulation of pollutants in the places of human life, is shown. The priority objects of environmental control, their criteria indicators and the frequency of their measurements to prevent a negative impact on public health in extreme conditions are determined.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the features of information and analytical support in the conduct of epidemiological surveillance in the system of public health institutions. Methods. The research was performed on the basis of the following methods: dialectical - to determine the essence of information and analytical support of public health institutions; functional, comparative analysis - to analyze the activities of the State Institution "Kirovohrad Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine"; model, integrated approaches - to develop a model of information and analytical support for the activities of public health institutions and measures for its implementation in practice; methods of statistical analysis - to determine the features of research on environmental objects and the dynamics of infectious diseases. Results and discussion. A study of the functioning of public health institutions, in particular the Kirovohrad Regional Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, identified general areas for development and implementation to improve public health. Conclusions : In the process of improving the information and analytical support of the activities of epidemiological surveillance institutions in the public health system, its key aspects of development were presented. More detailed solutions to public health problems were suggested. Tasks have been formulated to improve the information and analytical support of the activities of epidemiological surveillance institutions in the public health system. It is established that all these aspects, which are related to improving the information and analytical function of public health institutions, for full use must be integrated into a single automated system with the creation and maintenance of information databases and information exchange functions, including real time. The structure of the model of information and analytical support for the activities of public health institutions has been developed. The main elements of the information-analytical system of epidemiological surveillance institutions in the public health system should be: databases of necessary information, system of indicators of public health, state of the environment, data processing system, communication system, transmission, information protection, system forecasting changes in public health indicators, the base of standard management decisions in certain circumstances (combinations of indicators), equipped with digital user workstations.

The purpose of the study: on the basis of information analysis of modern approaches and experimental studies, to develop effective methods of decontamination of radioactively contaminated waters of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Research materials and methods. The object of our research was liquid radioactive waste stored in the sumps of one of the decontamination points for equipment and vehicles (PuSO) - the "Dibrova" facility. Modern research methods are applied - scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, laser sedimentography. The mass fraction of cesium, strontium, cobalt, and manganese was determined by the atomic absorption method using an AA-8500 atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Nippon Jarrell Ash Co Ltd, Japan). The results. The effectiveness of the proposed sorbents based on nickel-potassium ferrocyanide-modified iron oxide micro- and nanotubes and iron (III) hydroxide nanoparticles, the size of which is mainly 1-100 μm, is shown. The choice of decontamination algorithm depends on the composition of liquid radioactive waste to be cleaned. To increase the degree of strontium extraction while maintaining the high efficiency of cesium and transition metal extraction, it is advisable to apply preliminary plasma chemical treatment followed by the use of sorbents based on iron oxides/hydroxides modified by ferrocyanides. Conclusions. The possibility and expediency of using the proposed method for the decontamination of liquid radioactive waste accumulated in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and for the current control of the condition of the storage sites of accumulated radioactive waste and radiation monitoring are shown.
这项研究的目的是:在对现代方法和实验研究的资料分析的基础上,制定对切尔诺贝利禁区受放射性污染的水进行除污的有效方法。研究材料和方法。我们的研究对象是储存在一个设备和车辆净化点(PuSO) -“Dibrova”设施的污水池中的液态放射性废物。应用了现代研究方法——扫描电子显微镜、x射线衍射、激光沉积学。原子吸收法测定铯、锶、钴和锰的质量分数,原子吸收法采用AA-8500原子吸收分光光度计(Nippon Jarrell Ash Co Ltd, Japan)。结果。结果表明,基于氰化铁镍钾改性氧化铁微纳米管和氢氧化铁(III)纳米颗粒(粒径主要为1 ~ 100 μm)的吸附剂具有较好的吸附剂效果。去污算法的选择取决于待清洗放射性废液的成分。为了提高锶的萃取程度,同时保持对铯和过渡金属的高效萃取,建议先进行初步等离子体化学处理,然后使用氰化铁修饰的氧化铁/氢氧化物吸附剂。结论。说明了将所建议的方法用于切尔诺贝利禁区内积累的液体放射性废物的净化以及目前对积累的放射性废物储存地点的状况的控制和辐射监测的可能性和方便性。

Objective. Development of guidelines of healthy physical activity volume for school-age children of the quarantine measures Materials and methods. Results of a survey of physical activity (PA) and mental health of children and adolescents of school age (n=1354) were included in the study. Anthropometrical-physiological parameters and the level of well-being were determined in 39 children of primary school age. The optimal duration and frequency of various PA for different age and gender groups was determined by constructing linear regression models. Statistical analysis was carried out using STATISTICA 8.0. Results and discussion. Increased physical activity significantly reduces depression (r=– 0,25; p<0,001) and anxiety levels (r=– 0,14; p<0,001). Also the relationship between the duration of MVPA and anxiety indicators (r=–0.10; p<0.001) and depression indicators (r=–0,22; p<0,001) was determined. The recommended duration of the total PA (PAt, more than 2 hours a day) was observed during the quarantine by 42.5±2.4% of students of the younger age group, 36.6±2.3% of students of the middle age group and 33.3±2.3% high school students. It is determined that the chances having the middle and high levels of well-being are 8 times higher in the group of children who have PAt more 2 hours/day during the quarantine (OR = 8,0; CІ 1,54-41,63) and are 8,2 times higher - who have MVPA more 60 minute/day (OR = 8,17; CІ 1,41-47,22). The indicator of the total duration of physical activity was normalized according to the maximum value of the indicator for each age group and gender to check the developed standards. Conclusions. It is determined that the daily duration PAt for school-age children during the quarantine measures for the purpose of prevention depression disorders should be more 2 hours/day for primary school children and 2.2 hours/day for adolescents. The favorable for mental health minimal duration of MVPA, which is typical of most sports, for primary school children is amount 60 minutes/day for boys and 40 minutes/day for girls, for adolescents is 60 minutes/day for boys and 45 minutes/day for girls. The daily duration of MVPA for preventing of depressive disorders of primary school children is about 40 minutes/day for girls and about 60 minutes/day for boys. For preventing of anxiety disorders of primary school children is about 40 minutes/day for girls and about 50 minutes/day for boys, respectively. A single health-enhancing duration of sporting activity is 1,2-1,5 hours for primary school children and 1,5-2,0 hours for adolescents.
