Introduction. Mass events, including sports, such as the World Cup, can contribute to the emergence of public health risks that must be identified and eliminated. Material and methods. We studied data on air pollution, drinking water and soil, information on pollution sources, locations of stationary and mobile observation posts and Saransk infrastructure facilities intended for the FIFA World Cup 2018. The study used methods of hygienic assessment, analysis, and synthesis, comparisons, and generalizations, as well as assessments of risk to public health. Results. Moderate inhalation risks (HI up to 1.14) for respiratory organs may form fine dust (PM10 and PM2.5). The risk to public health during oral acute short-term exposure to chemicals coming from drinking water and soil did not exceed the permissible level. The concentrations of certain elements and chemicals in drinking water exceeded hygienic standards (boron up to 2.36 times, iron up to 2.88 times, fluorides up to 1.48 times). The content of benzo (a) pyrene in the soil exceeded the hygienic standard by 6.49 times. Discussion. The results of similar studies carried out during the period of preparation for the holding of global mass events in Russia in 2013-2019 confirmed the results and conclusions of this work. The main route of exposure of chemicals to the health of the population, guests, and participants of the events is inhalation. Additional control is needed for dust, including PM10 and PM2.5. Conclusion. Revision and modification of the existing system of placement of posts monitoring the quality of the environment are not required. Additional control is needed with respect to PM10 and PM2.5 (atmospheric air), fluorides, boron, iron, nitrates, and strontium (drinking water), benzo (a) pyrene (soil).

Kumbh Mela is held once in twelve years in India and is being hailed as largest congregation on earth. Kumbh Mela held in Allahabad in 2013 provided unprecedented learning opportunity and seminal scholarship for multi-disciplines spanning public health, business, religious expression, temporary infrastructure, and the makeshift economy among other subjects. Harvard university book 'Kumbh Mela - Mapping the Ephemeral Megacity', claims that Maha Kumbh Mela held in 2013 was better organized than FIFA world cup held in Brazil in 2014. This bears a testimony to the 'Globalizing Indian management thought'. The sheer size is indicated by the fact that as an estimate 120 million people visited the Kumbh Mela at Allahabad in 2013. These events made multinational and Indian companies to mull over sacred calendars and promote their wares and services. There were innovate sales promotions such as 'Lifebuoy se haath dhoye kya' to 'Kya apne dant snan kiya' by Dabur among others. Kumbh Melas as an event represents harmonious existence of religious beliefs and business. This also provides unique opportunity for the Marketers to contribute to the society for social responsibility, while demanding business leadership and cultural sensitivity from managers.The research article makes modest attempt to elucidate various sales promotions of select brands in the context of Kumbh Mela as religious events, and develops conceptual frameworks for understanding of sales promotions at religious events in India for the marketers.

The objective of the study was to summarize the experience of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute in securing sanitary and epidemiologic welfare in the cities of Volgograd and Kazan during 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Materials and methods. We analyzed reports of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute and Specialized Anti-Epidemic Teams (SAET) of Rospotrebnadzor for 2017–2018. Results. We identified key activities of specialists of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute in the preparation period including the analysis of potential epidemiologic risks; epizootological examination and comprehensive preventive measures in the areas characterized by high potential epidemiological hazard; ensuring anti-epidemic preparedness of Rospotrebnadzor bodies and health facilities in terms of methodology, personnel, and regulations, and taking into account external and internal threats of the Championship; ensuring preparedness of the SAET for testing, verification and coordinated response actions in case of biological emergency situations. During the international championship, the laboratories of the SAET mobile complex, groups of specialists in the cities of Volgograd and Kazan, and a stationary laboratory base of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute were first involved in solving the above tasks simultaneously. The prerogative function of the Volgograd Research Anti-Plague Institute was to carry out epidemiologic diagnostics when verifying cases of suspected infectious diseases, including new, previously unknown, associated with emergencies of natural and anthropogenic origin, and caused by pathogens of pathogenicity groups I–II ones, as well as in assisting regional health facilities in monitoring the environment including the infrastructure of mass events, and taking sanitary, hygienic, and preventive actions.
