Cerenkov counting is a convenient and effective method of counting high-energy beta radiation, which has long been used to measure a number of radionuclides, such as, in particular, 90Sr+90Y, in environmental objects. The traditional Cerenkov method requires the use of radiochemical sample preparation procedures, but these procedures may be simpler than those used, for example, for the liquid scintillation counting (LSC) method. We proposed the Cerencov method, which corrects color quench effect. The method is based on the correlation between the counting rates of the radiation of the sample and its external standard, which is observed for a wide range of color quenching of the samples. The use of such a Cerencov method allows measurement of high-energy -emitters, in particular, its use as an express method for the study of 90Sr+90Y in surface water. For a number of cases, the method makes it possible to avoid the use of long lasting and expensive sample preparation procedures. The results of the cross-testing of the samples obtained by the Cerencov method and direct measurement by the liquid scintillation counting method are in good agreement with each other.

The 3RIVE 3D pesticide application system, developed by FMC and Micro-Trak Systems Inc., allows to reduce the amount of pesticides used increasing their effectiveness. This innovative delivery platform converts the traditional high-volume application technology into a low-volume one thanks to the patented technology. The purpose of the work is risk assessment of the bifenthrin influence on the population health when consuming corn grown using the innovative 3RIVE 3D technology. Materials and methods. We calculated the stability indices of bifenthrin (the active ingredient of the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation) in corn grown using the innovative 3RIVE 3D technology (introduction into the soil with simultaneous sowing of corn seeds). Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC is used as an insecticide on corn crops with a maximum consumption rate of 1.2 l/ha, once. Research results and their discussion. When studying the dynamics of bifenthrin residual amounts in corn grown with the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation application using 3Rive3D technology, it was established that during the growing season the content of bifenthrin in corn gradually decreased and after 50 days in the ears of corn it was below the limit of quantitative determination of the method. The integral index of hazard when consuming pesticides contaminated food products (IIHCPCF) = ADD+С+ τ50 = 2+2+2 = 6 points (Table 2). That is, according to this index, bifenthrin can be attributed to compounds of the 3rd class of hazard (moderately hazardous compounds), since its moderate toxicity (ADD value) is combined with its moderate resistance in agricultural crops and the relative low corn amount in the diet of Ukrainians. Conclusions. It was established that according to State Standard 8.8.1.002-98 bifenthrin belongs to the 3rd class of hazard – moderately stable compounds. According to the value of integral index of hazard when consuming pesticides contaminated food products bifenthrin can be assigned to the 3rd class of hazard (moderately hazardous compounds). As the application of the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation using 3Rive3D technology for the protection of corn does not carry the risk of crops pollution and consumption of corn by the population, deterioration of the ecological situation, as well as it has significant agro-economic and population safety advantages, the application of pesticides using 3Rive3D technology is very promising and will be actively and widely implemented in the agricultural practice of Ukraine in the future.

purpose of the study is to study the adaptive capabilities of the cardiovascular system of schoolchildren living near the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Research methods. Anthropometric, instrumental, mathematical and statistical. Results. The study covered 1139 schoolchildren aged 6-17 years (579 boys, 560 girls) who live in rural settlements of Ivankivskyi and Polisskyi districts located near the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The survey included the determination of the specific activity of 137Cs (Bq/kg) in the body of children, followed by the calculation of the median and interquartile range in the analyzed groups; physical performance of schoolchildren with the definition of the Ruffier index; assessment of the level of functioning of the cardiovascular system and its adaptive potential. Most of the examined children showed tension and poor adaptation of the cardiovascular system. Disruption of adaptation mechanisms in schoolchildren was recorded in 17.38 % of cases, while in the group of girls with increased body weight it was determined significantly more often than in the group of boys. The reason for this situation, taking into account the genetic characteristics and specific activity of 137Cs in the body, may be hypodynamia. Satisfactory adaptation, as an indicator of health and stable balance of all systems of the child's body, was determined only at the level of 5-7 %. It was concluded that it is necessary to constantly monitor the adaptive capabilities of the cardiovascular system in schoolchildren living near the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in order to prevent the development of serious diseases in them in the future. When assessing physical development and the state of the cardiovascular system, it is also necessary to take into account the level of incorporated radionuclides and the state of the genetic apparatus of the folate cycle.

The purpose of the work. Investigation of the physical characteristics of large geometric light video screens of dynamic advertising equipment as factors of possible adverse effects on visual analyzer of inhabitants of a surrounding housing. Results and discussion. Due to the development of outdoor advertising, the new generation of electronic panels can display video, multimedia, color, dynamic information, as well as quickly update advertising materials. This can cause an overload of the visual system and disrupt the normal functioning of brain, lead to visual fatigue. Studies of video screens on standardized parameters: lighting (lx), brightness (cd/m2) and non-standardized: lighting energy (mW/m2), color temperature (K), light pulsation (%) indicate their compliance with regulatory requirements of Ukraine and do not exceed levels regulated by other standards and recommended by the literature for sources of visible radiation. The exception is the angular size of the screen visible from the living room, which requires further studies. Conclusions. The use of geometrically large video screens of dynamic advertising equipment, especially in areas of dense housing and heavy traffic, requires improved methodological approaches to assessing the risks of visual discomfort and influence on public health.

The aim of the work was to perform a psychohygienic assessment the characteristics of the spread of emotional burnout’s features, asthenic and depressive states and aggression of students in the conditions of the use of remote (on-line) organization of educational activities. Materials and methods: The research was conducted on the basis of National Pyrohov Memorial Medical University. A complex of highly informative hygienic, medical-sociological and psychodiagnostic methods and the methods of statistical analysis was used. Results: When considering the leading characteristics of emotional burnout, first of all, it was necessary to pay attention to a significant increase in the level of expression of resistance phase indicators (р<0.05-0.01), characteristic of the organization of the educational process according to the auditorium format, against the background of completely stable expression indicators of the specified phase (p>0.05), characteristic of the organization of the educational process according to the remote format. In the course of research aimed at determining the correlates of the asthenic state, it was established that under the conditions of using the remote form of education, either a decrease in the degree of their expression was observed (young women), or the indicators stabilized at the initial level (young men). When determining the characteristics of changes in the leading correlates of depression, it was noticed that under the conditions of using the remote format of the organization of the educational process, either a significant decrease in the degree of their expression was observed (young women), or the indicators stabilized at the initial level (young men) too. During the analysis of indicators of aggressive personality manifestations, it should be noted that under the conditions of remote education, statistically significant changes were observed in the characteristics of physical aggression (p<0.05) and negativism (p<0.05). Conclusions: In the course the research the psychohygienic assessment of the personality traits of students in the conditions of application of a remote form of organization of educational activity was carried out. It is established that in the case of use on-line learning there is a significant increase in the degree of expression of the phase of tension of emotional burnout, the stable course of the processes of formation of asthenic and depressive states, a decrease in the level of physical aggression on the background of a pronounced increase in the degree of negativism in the structure of aggressive manifestations.

Target. From the standpoint of public health, determine and analyze the ratio of various components of health disorders, namely biometric (disease), social (sickness), and its self-esteem (illness). Materials and methods. The source of the initial information was the survey data of the adult population. All questionnaire questions related to three manifestations of the health disorders: "disease", "illness", "sickness. Mathematical methods were used for the integral assessment of the components of health disorders, determination of the relationship between them and analysis of the obtained results. Results. For public health, which is the most socially oriented branch of medicine, it is extremely important to take into account not only biomedical (disease), but also social (sickness) aspects of the disease, as well as its self-esteem (illness). In this research, we considered the combination and relationship of various manifestations of the disease in Tweddle's triad, and conducted a comparative analysis of its components. It was established that the relationships between various forms of ill health depend on both the age and gender of the respondents. This must be considered, because knowledge of the ratio and relationship of the components of Tweddle's triad is necessary for the development of the most effective ways to overcome diseases and improve health. Considering the components of Tweddle's triad, namely, disease, illness and sickness, is extremely important for medicine, social policy and the health care system in general.

Objective: sanitary and hygienic assessment of the project of a complex for processing and disposal of solid waste. In context, tasks of determining predictive indicators of environmental impact and establishing the hazard category of RDF fuel from sorted fractions of municipal solid waste with the possibility of its further use as an alternative fuel were solved. Materials and methods. Objects - the designed parameters of the arrangement of the object for the treatment of solid waste, indicators of alternative fuel from combustible fractions of solid waste and the conditions for the further operation of the object. RDF fuel from MSW fractions was evaluated in terms of physicochemical and toxicological parameters with laboratory tests and calculation of hazard category. The assessment of operating conditions of facility was carried out by the method of hygienic analysis, taking into account the specifics of impact on the environment. Results. A modern complex for the processing and disposal of solid waste as part of a waste sorting and landfill for the non-utilizable part of solid waste is planned to be located outside the boundaries of the settlement. Arrangement of the landfill is provided in accordance with construction and environmental standards. From combustible fractions of sorted waste, it is planned to produce RDF fuel. Studies have established the main indicators of fuel. According to results of acute toxicity assessment and calculated coefficients, the waste mixture in composition of RDF fuel belongs to the 4th category of waste and 4th class in terms of acute toxicity in accordance with the requirements of the EU Regulations. Combustion of this fuel in whirlpool kilns of cement plants is optimal solution, since safety conditions are observed in accordance with requirements of EU Directive for combustion at a temperature of at least 850 ◦C for a duration of at least 2 seconds. The sanitary and hygienic assessment of probabilistic impact of the object was made on the basis of predictive calculated indicators, which indicate the absence of excess impact and determine the 300 m area of its distribution, which is less than 500 m of the standard size of the sanitary protection zone. Conclusions. It has been established that the planned sorting activities with the removal of recyclable materials and the disposal of non-utilizable part of MSW make it possible to further use the useful part of waste, reduce volume and area of disposal, and extend the life of landfill.

In context, tasks of determining predictive indicators of environmental impact and establishing the hazard category of RDF fuel from sorted fractions of municipal solid waste with the possibility of its further use as an alternative fuel were solved. Materials and methods. Objects - the designed parameters of the arrangement of the object for the treatment of solid waste, indicators of alternative fuel from combustible fractions of solid waste and the conditions for the further operation of the object. RDF fuel from MSW fractions was evaluated in terms of physicochemical and toxicological parameters with laboratory tests and calculation of hazard category. The assessment of operating conditions of facility was carried out by the method of hygienic analysis, taking into account the specifics of impact on the environment. Results. A modern complex for the processing and disposal of solid waste as part of a waste sorting and landfill for the non-utilizable part of solid waste is planned to be located outside the boundaries of the settlement. Arrangement of the landfill is provided in accordance with construction and environmental standards. From combustible fractions of sorted waste, it is planned to produce RDF fuel. Studies have established the main indicators of fuel. According to results of acute toxicity assessment and calculated coefficients, the waste mixture in composition of RDF fuel belongs to the 4th category of waste and 4th class in terms of acute toxicity in accordance with the requirements of the EU Regulations. Combustion of this fuel in whirlpool kilns of cement plants is optimal solution, since safety conditions are observed in accordance with requirements of EU Directive for combustion at a temperature of at least 850 ◦C for a duration of at least 2 seconds. The sanitary and hygienic assessment of probabilistic impact of the object was made on the basis of predictive calculated indicators, which indicate the absence of excess impact and determine the 300 m area of its distribution, which is less than 500 m of the standard size of the sanitary protection zone. Conclusions. It has been established that the planned sorting activities with the removal of recyclable materials and the disposal of non-utilizable part of MSW make it possible to further use the useful part of waste, reduce volume and area of disposal, and extend the life of landfill. Design solutions for arrangement of a modern complex for processing and disposal of solid waste, according to the predictive assessment, will not have an excess impact on the environment, will ensure environmental safety in the area of probable impact of the facility and comply with domestic and European standards.
