Algorithm of the system approach to ensure the hygienic safety of drinking and recreational water use of the population and assessment of the efficiency of its implementation in the territory of the Voronezh region

Abstract

The aim of the study was to scientifically substantiate a system of measures to ensure the hygienic safety of drinking and recreational water use of the rural population of an agrarian-developed region (on the example of the Voronezh region) on the basis of previously conducted studies that made it possible to assess: sanitary and hygienic problems in the recreational water use of the population; health risks associated with water factors; the degree of sanitary and epidemiological problems of centralized drinking water supply systems in rural areas; health hazards associated with drinking bottled drinking water. The following are proposed: 1) an algorithm for the implementation of a systematic approach to ensuring the hygienic safety of recreational and drinking water use of the population, which provides for the assessment of individual and complex indicators for the blocks “Recreational water use”, “Household drinking water use”, “Packaged drinking water”, “Public health”; simultaneous solution of analytical tasks to substantiate priority regional indicators of water quality, identify areas of “risk” and links that determine the inadequate quality of drinking water, clarify population risks due to an increase in the share of consumption of packaged drinking water; 2) operational management of the regional situation in order to ensure hygienic safety in the field of drinking and recreational water use of the population through improving the legal framework, implementing targeted programs and informing the population.
