ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ СИСТЕМЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ РИСКАМИ ДЛЯ СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЯ САНИТАРНО-ЭПИДЕМИОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО КОНТРОЛЯ И НАДЗОРА

The article reviewsthe possibility to work out and introduce risk-oriented model for control and surveillance in the field of the sanitary-epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation. In implementation of risk-oriented approaches, choice of a model is of importance. If the static model is the starting one, then in the future, the dynamic model will be the most promising allowing for assessment of stability of the sanitary-epidemiologic situation in time. Introduction and development of risk-oriented models for control and surveillance is the actual objective at realization of sanitary-epidemiological control (surveillance) . It is necessary to work out and harmonize concept, procedural apparatus, and scientific and methodological support of risk-oriented control and surveillance on the base of the best world patterns and standards.Приведен анализ возможности применения системы оценки рисков для здоровья при осуществлении мероприятий по контролю (надзору) и внедрении этого опыта в Российской Федерации. При внедрении риск-ориентированных подходов важным является выбор модели. При этом если стартовой будет статическая модель, то в дальнейшем наиболее перспективной будет динамическая модель, позволяющая оценить устойчивость санитарно-эпидемиологической ситуации во времени. Внедрение и совершенствование риск-ориентированных моделей контроля и надзора является актуальной задачей при проведении санитарно-эпидемиологического надзора (контроля). Необходима разработка и гармонизация понятийного, процедурного аппарата и научно-методического обеспечения риск-ориентированной контрольно-надзорной деятельности на базе лучших мировых образцов и стандартов

Shallow-focus seismic activity in the rear of Japan-Sakhalin insular arc and its possible tectonic nature

On the base of analysis of data from different seismic bulletins for the Japan Sea basin the most comprehensive unified catalogue of earthquake with magnitude M > 3,0 and depths h < 60 km for the period 1975-2010 has been prepared for the first time. Maps of epicenter of events for the four intervals (0-10, 11-20, 21-30 and 31-60 km) and three sub-latitude sections are plotted. Structural peculiarities have been considered and possible tectonic nature of seismic zone along submarine margin or borderland of the Japan-Sakhalin island arc: regional uplift, rather mega-duplex fracture of compression faults, caused by crustal sliding at the rear of frontal deep thrust

Occupation and lung cancer risk in Leningrad Province, Russia

To investigate the association between occupation and lung cancer risk in Leningrad Province, Russia, we identified 540 pathologically diagnosed lung cancer cases (474 males and 66 females) and 582 controls (453 males and 129 females) from the 1993-1998 autopsy records of the 88 state hospitals of the Province. Lifetime occupational histories were obtained from personal records coded according to the standard Russian occupational classification system. Lung cancer risk was increased in workers in the manufacturing industry, particularly in the food industry and wholesale/retail trade and in the miscellaneous manufacturing industry. An increased risk was also found in subjects employed in chemical and metal production for 10 years or more. When we considered the association between specific occupations and lung cancer, waste incineration operators and loaders exhibited an excess risk that increased with employment duration. The present study, which is the first to evaluate the risk of lung cancer by occupation in Russia, suggests the presence in Leningrad Province of exposure in the workplace to lung carcinogens that require further characterization to develop targeted and effective preventive measures
