The article addresses public danger as a basis for establishing a criminal law prohibition of the crime stipulated by the Art. 326 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The subject of the character and degree of public danger of the specified crime, which encroaches on social relations in the field of biological safety, is determined. A socially dangerous nature of the investigated crime is found to be determined by the real biological threats it creates, which can be transformed into a general or local biological danger, as well as by its subject. The hypothesis is proved that the degree of public danger of the crime stipulated by Art. 326 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, is determined by the amount of damage caused in the form of financial and social losses, as well as physical losses.
