Summary. Introduction: A human health risk assessment is the process to estimate the nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who may be exposed to various environmental factors. The purpose of the study was to analyze climatic parameters as potential health risk factors for the population of some municipalities of the Krasnoyarsk Region. Methods: We processed meteorological data of the state monitoring network in the Krasnoyarsk Region including the average, maximum, and minimum air temperatures measured every three hours in an automatic mode in accordance with a generally accepted international protocol. Climate characteristics were identified using the method of long-term distribution of average daily temperatures. To assess the climatic features of the Krasnoyarsk Region, we considered such parameters as the average seasonal temperature, dates of air temperature stable transition through zero, temperature waves, extreme daily temperature changes, and bioclimatic indices. Results: We analyzed climate characteristics as potential health risk factors for the population of six cities of the Krasnoyarsk Region (Achinsk, Kansk, Krasnoyarsk, Lesosibirsk, Minusinsk, and Norilsk) for the period from 1919 to 2019. Conclusion: Our findings may be used to establish the relationship between a combination of climatic factors and ambient air quality indices and morbidity and mortality of the local population; they can also contribute to predicting death rates in the region.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine in a model experiment the potential residues of bromadiolone and brodifacoum in the wheat grown on soil treated with these rodenticides and to compare them with the respective acceptable daily intake (ADI) in order to obtain information lacking in the scientific literature. The study focused on the level of residues of chronic rodenticides Broder G, with the active ingredient brodifacoum, and DERATION G, with the active ingredient bromadiolone, in wheat (Triticum spp.). The preparations were used in the form of granular bait. In the wheat grown on the soil treated with 100 g.m−2 of the preparation BRODER G, the brodifacoum residues ranged from 0.012 to 0.0218 mg.kg−1, while the treatment of soil with 500 g.m−2 resulted in residues ranging between 0.0344 and 0.0436 mg.kg−1. When using the preparation DE-RATION G, bromadiolone residues ranged between 0.012 and 0.018 mg.kg−1 after the treatment of soil with 100 g.m−2 and between 0.030 and 0.0428 mg.kg−1 after the treatment with 500 g.m−2. We observed that the acceptable daily intake was exceeded significantly in all of the cases and the residual levels depended on the rodenticide dose. In the case of brodifacoum, the ADI was exceeded more than 700-fold at a dose of 100 g.m−2 and more than 1400-fold at a dose of 500 g.m−2 of soil. With bromadio-lone, the ADI was exceeded 150-fold at a dose of 100 g.m−2 and more than 350-fold at a dose of 500 g.m−2. This indicates the risk to consumers from such crops.
