Abstract

Aim: to ground an inclusion of requirements for prevention of parasitic diseases into previously elaborated draft of the new sanitary regulations “eco-hygienic requirements for setting, keeping and organizing the routine of functioning of recreational areas of the water bodies”.

Materials and methods: the state of the sand pollution was evaluated on the next indicators: the salts of heavy metals, organic compounds, pathogenic germs, helminthiasises harmful for humans. Laboratory investigations of sand were carried out before the beginning of the swimming season and also in the period of its most pollution (semination) during the season and after the end of it.

Results. On the parasitologic indicators the sand pollution in the beach areas of Kharkov region is in average more than 7% of the general number of assays during the last 5 years. On the sanitary-chemical indicators the sand pollution was absent and on microbiological ones – insignificant.

An existing normative base that regulates the requirements for the conditions of recreation and sanitation on the water bodies doesn’t includes the full list of requirements for prevention of the parasitologic diseases, these requirements are presented in the large number of documents, it is imperfect and need changes. That’s why it is necessary to add into the new sanitary regulations the laboratory investigations of the sand (soil) of the beaches while realization of the sanitary-parasitologic oversight on the recreational water bodies. Carrying out investigations it is necessary to take into account the 4 periods of semination of the sand with parasitogenic causative agents: 1 – the main one (March-May), 2. – the current summer one (June-August), 3. – the main autumn one (September-November), 4. – the sporadic period of the casual pollution (December-February).
