Introduction and purpose of the study. Analysis of statistical data, dynamics of absolute and integrated indicators of anthropogenic and technogenic loading on the environment indicates that the ecological situation in Ukraine can be characterized as a crisis. In Ukraine, the ecological crisis is unfolding in the context of limiting natural resources, economic instability, exacerbating social and political problems, the lack of moral foundations in many members of society, and the intensive pollution of the human environment by negative factors, including mutagens and teratogens. Taking into account the above, the urgency of the problem of the interconnection of the environmental state of the environment and the state of health of the population is increasing.The hypothesis of scientific research. It is anticipated that the poorly investigated are the social consequences of environmental threats and challenges, and the state of social consciousness in the field of the environmental paradigm of health is not sufficiently taken into account.The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of negative environmental (anthropogenic) factors on the basic indicators of public health and the means of their elimination and minimization through bioprophylaxis and the formation of ecological consciousness. Methods of research: theoretical analysis, synthesis, comparison and comparison in order to determine the state of disclosure of the research problem in the scientific literature, quantitative indicator of the state of health of the population – health index, study of expert surveys.Results: the risks of negative environmental impact on human health are disclosed. The dependence of health and the environment on certain indicators is shown. The relationship between ecological factors and the development of modern diseases is revealed. The group of diseases related to the environmental impact have been analyzed. The leading role in etiology and pathogenesis of diseases of heredity and the state of the environment has been determined.Conclusions: The current ecological crisis in Ukraine is related to the influence of the complex of environmental and professional-production factors in combination with stress, neuro-psychological overloads. Today, there are many environmental challenges and threats that cause deterioration of physical and mental health, threatening the nation's gene pool. The deterioration of the environment leads to an increase in ecologically dependent chemical pathology and the emergence of new ecologically conditioned diseases.

Abstract Parks in urbanised areas fulfil an important function as they create a positive climate in cities and contribute to the good health of their inhabitants. The study gives an answer to the question of which of the species under investigation is the most suitable for planting in urbanised areas. The aim of the research conducted from 2013 to 2014 at selected sites in Poznan (Poland) was to determine the state of health of Tilia cordata Mill., Acer platanoides L. and Quercus robur L. trees and to compare their state of health depending on the location of the research sites. The aim of the research was also to determine the environmental variables that may have an influence on the state of health of the tree species under analysis. The research included statistical analyses and models based on discriminant analysis. The research revealed that the state of health of the tree species under investigation growing in the city is determined by anthropogenic factors. The closeness of the city centre, main thoroughfares and estates heated with fossil fuels are the factors that have the most negative influence on the state of health of oak, maple and lime trees. Acer platanoides L. was the species in the best state of health in parks, whereas in forests it was Tilia cordata Mill.

Purpose. The aim of the work is to quantify the indicators of the environmental impact of mining enterprises on the state of the natural environment during the operation of a mining enterprise and after its liquidation. Method. The paper uses a computational and analytical research method. Results. Based on the calculations performed, it was established that the specific assessment of the environmental impact on the biosphere components of the Mining Enterprise PJSC "MM "Pokrovskoe" for the entire estimated period of the mine's existence: lithosphere – 0.071; hydrosphere – 0.02; atmosphere – 0.77; biota – 0.009; physical fields – 0.13. After the liquidation of the mine, due to the termination of coal mining operations from methane-free coal seams, the absence of emergency gas emissions, as well as a decrease in noise and heat pollution, the specific impact on the atmosphere (0) and physical fields (0.0004) is significantly reduced, but at the same time, the impact on the hydrosphere (0.26) and lithosphere (0.72) significantly increases, which is associated with changes in the hydrological regime of water and the deterioration of mine discharges of water quality in the hydrographic network due to pumping mine effluents to the daytime surface, with the dry method closing the mine, and waterlogging of the territory with a wet and combined method of closing the mine. The indicator of specific impact on the biota (0.009) does not change. Scientific novelty. A methodology for calculating indicators of the environmental impact of mining enterprises on the state of the natural environment is proposed. Practical significance. The obtained indicators of environmental impact on the components of the biosphere can serve as a basis for developing measures to reduce the negative manifestations of mining enterprises on the state of the natural environment. Key words environmental risk, mining enterprise, biosphere components, environmental impact.

State Of The Environment

In oil-producing regions, oil pollution occurs, which, among other things, causes problems related to conservation of the region’s biodiversity. Therefore, acquisition of knowledge about the state of the unique nature of Northern Caspian, which is under an intensified anthropogenic press, and study of the current state of marine and coastal biota, is an urgent problem for modern Kazakhstan. The territory is located in a desert zone, in the subzone of steppificated northern deserts. In the zonal terms, this is a transitional azonal band between the subzones of the mid-latitude absolute and northern steppificated deserts. Even more significantly, it is located between the contrasting ecosystems of the sea and land. Such a geographical location predetermines the heterogeneity of spatial differentiation and the dynamics of vegetation. Moisture and salinization regimes are the main limiting factors for the botanical composition of communities. In this regard, the vegetative cover is characterized by a poor floristic and phytocenotic diversity and a simple structure. This is also due to the youth of the territory, periodic transgressions and regressions of the Caspian Sea and a constant influence of the surging sea. As a result of intensive grazing use of the territory in the previous years, there are areas of saltwort-sagebrush degraded vegetation in the areas of increased concentration of agricultural animals, characterized by a lower vitality of Artemisia, its thinning and abundant growth of annual saltworts: Ceratocarpus arenarius, Climacoptera brachiata, Salsola paulsenii and Salsola nitraria that reduce significantly the grazing characteristics of grasslands and are indicators of anthropogenic activity. In recent decades, the society has increasingly used information about the state of the natural environment in its activities. This information is needed in the daily life of people, in the management of the economy, in construction, in emergency circumstances – to alert people of the imminent natural calamities. However, changes in the state of the environment also occur under the influence of biospheric processes associated with human activities. To determine the contribution of anthropogenic factors to these changes is an important and difficult task. Abundance of species and phytobiotic structure are important indicators of the state of the environment, the degree of anthropogenic disturbance and pollution. As a result of the research, data on flora, composition and structure of vegetation will be obtained

The Impact

The steel industry is facing problems such as serious environmental pollution and high resource consumption. At the same time, it lacks effective methods to quantify potential environmental impacts. The purpose of this work is to conduct a specific environmental analysis of steelmaking production in steel plants. The ultimate goal is to discover the main pollution of steelmaking and identify potential options for improving the environment. This paper uses life cycle assessment method to carry out inventory and quantitative analysis on the environmental impact of steelmaking system. Through analysis, the hazards are divided into four major categories, which are human health, climate change, ecosystem quality, and resources. The results show that molten iron has the greatest impact on human health, followed by the greatest impact on resources. The impact of scrap steel on human health ranks third. Molten iron is a key process that affects human health, climate change, ecosystems quality, and resources. In addition, processes such as fuels, working fluids, and auxiliary materials also cause certain environmental damage, accounting for a relatively small proportion. Optimizing the utilization of scrap steel and molten iron resources and improving the utilization efficiency of resources and energy are helpful to reduce the environmental hazards of steelmaking system.

The aim: The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of recreational lands on human health and determine the priority forms of their use and protection. Materials and methods: International acts, data of international organizations and findings of scientists have been examined and used in the study. The article also summarizes information from scientific journals and monographs from a medical and legal point of view on the basis of scientific methods. This article is based on dialectical, comparative, analytic, synthetic, and comprehensive research methods. Conclusions: Recreational lands positively influence human health through a powerful effect of natural healing resources in combination with health-improving and therapeutic procedures on the body, which is becoming increasingly popular, and in some cases, it is the most effective treatment of all. Recreational lands are an independent category of land with a special legal regime of use, characterized by a developed or undeveloped natural area containing natural resources for treatment, recovery, rehabilitation, and prevention of diseases, which are under the special protection of the state and territorial communities. Special protection of the state in today's conditions is extremely important because there has been a negative trend in Ukraine regarding raider attacks. The objects of such attacks are exclusively those companies that are competitive in the market, have achieved significant profits, and continue to develop their activities by creating new branches and introducing new technologies. In particular, attacks on the property of agricultural enterprises and business entities that carry out activities in the field of IT services have become frequent in recent years [1, p. 172]. The main target of attacks by raiders on agricultural enterprises is their land. Similarly, without state support and protection, recreational land can be the object of raider attacks. The priority form of using recreational land is the placement of resorts and sanatoriums that provide recreational services. Recreational lands can also be used for health improvement in the “wellness” form or within the framework of health tourism.

There is presented data of the analysis of the influence of various types of the psychological gestational dominant of the mother on the health of born children, which is important for the development of preventive and corrective measures. Children with disabilities were found to be more often born by mothers with euphoric, anxious and rejecting variants of the psychological gestational dominance, which should be taken into consideration long before the birth of the child. The state of health of the child is closely related with the course of pregnancy and the type of the psychological gestational dominant of the mother. Pathological types of the psychological gestational dominant of the mother are associated with certain forms of somatic pathology in born children. Women with pathological variants of the psychological gestational dominant were shown to more often deliver children with impaired vision, hearing, speech and musculoskeletal system. This indicates to a negative impact of the pathological gestational dominant on the health of the fetus and the newborn. The authors believe all pregnant women to have to be tested for determining the type of psychological gestational dominance with following monitoring of the fetus and newborn’s condition for timely correction of health disorders and medical, psychological and pedagogical support of children at all stages of the development.

With an increase in urbanization, there is need for a constant assessment and monitoring of environmental features. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been used in this research was to assess the impacts of Ala River in Akure on the environment using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. The data collection involved the use of Questionnaires and the design were based on four criteria: socio-cultural, climatic, economic, Health and Safety Impact factors. Using ArcMap, Buffer Analysis was performed around the River to get those features most susceptible to the impact of Ala River and also to guide the expanse where opinion survey was carried out at different locations around the river. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the data acquired and the Hypothesis tested were used to generate outcome set for each of the criteria’s. From the results of the study, it was discovered that the River has impacts on the Social-Cultural state of the environments (P<0.05), Climate of the environment (P<0.05) and Health and Safety state of the environment including the people around it(P<0.05) but the River does not have major impacts on the Economic factors (P>0.05).The research recommends that additional effort need to be put in place on all fronts if the results acquired from environmental assessment is to be put to good use.

New Moscow

&lt;p&gt;In conditions of on-going urbanization, urban parks play a key role in the sustainable development of urban space. New Moscow, the territory attached to Moscow in 2012, is currently the largest area in Russia experiencing rapid and intensive urban development. New Moscow is a unique area in which over the past five years, starting in 2012, rapid urbanization has been observed, including the formation of new recreational areas in the former forest, fallow and arable territories. There are currently more than 70 parks with a different land use history on this territory. Most of them have been created or reconstructed in the last 7 years. The aim of our study is to study the state of soils and green spaces of the recreational zones of New Moscow and the impact of anthropogenic factors on them, taking into account the different history of land use. For analysis, we selected 4 parks. Two parks are formed on the site of the former arable territory, and two parks in the forest zone. At the same time, one park from a couple was closer to the old borders of Moscow, and the second at a distance of more than 15 km. In the selected territories, we conduct physical, chemical and microbiological analysis of soils, as well as assess the state of green spaces. In each of the parks, 9 or 10 points were selected in various functional areas (territories near sports and playgrounds, in the walking area, barbecue area, etc.). The selection was carried out to a depth of 50-100 cm. The top layer (0-10 cm) was selected for analysis of the carbon content in the microbial biomass (Cmic), basal respiration (BR) and CO2 production. To carry out the pH, C / N analysis, as well as the content of heavy metals in the soil, the samples were taken horizontally to a depth of 100 cm. The second stage of the study was to assess the state of woody vegetation within a radius of 20 meters from each point selected for soil analysis. Thus, we plan to obtain a comprehensive analysis of the physical, chemical and microbiological condition of the soils of the recreational zones and green spaces with a different land use history and to identify the influence of the anthropogenic factor on them.&lt;/p&gt;
