Sanitary and epidemiological features of recreational water use of the Tuapse district of the Krasnodar region

Abstract

Introduction. The state of the recreational system of the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory is of particular interest and great importance for the development of the medical and health complex in Russia. Currently, the Krasnodar Territory has a state task to develop beach tourism on the sea coast, one of the priority sectors of the Russian economy. Considering the territorial features of the Municipal Formation Tuapse region of the Krasnodar Territory, the priority direction in the work of the Tuapse branch of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Krasnodar Territory is water protection measures aimed at ensuring the safety of public health. The study of the causal relationships of health and the environment based on the materials of social and hygienic monitoring and analysis of information data on indicators of human health and the environment determines the tactics of developing regional short-term and long-term preventive measures and programs to improve the environment and optimize the health of the population. Purpose of the study. studying the sanitary and epidemiological state of the recreation zones (beaches) of the Tuapse district of the Krasnodar region. Materials and methods. the work is based on the materials of annual reports on sanitary and epidemiological well being in the Tuapse region of the Krasnodar Territory, the analysis of expert opinions and laboratory studies carried out by employees of the Tuapse branch of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Krasnodar Territory, the analysis of infectious morbidity, and the analysis of legislative and other regulatory requirements for the establishment and control of the state of recreation zones was also carried out Results and discussion. difficulties with the implementation of sanitary and epidemiological control (supervision) over recreation areas are associated with: the imperfection of modern legislation on recreation zones, lack of publicly available information on the state of recreation areas and programs (plans) of sanitary and recreational activities, need for significant material resources to bring the existing and replace outdated sewage water treatment systems that pollute the water area of recreational areas in compliance with the regulatory requirements. Conclusions. The paper presents the features of the recreational water use of the Tuapse region of the Krasnodar Territory, describes the problems of the improvement of the recreational zones of the region. An analysis of laboratory studies of the recreational waters of the Black Sea over the past ten years and an analysis of the incidence of intestinal and enteroviral infections in the population of the Tuapse region of the Krasnodar Territory were carried out, seasonal fluctuations in the incidence rate were identified (an increase during July-August). The increase in the morbidity rate in the summer is due to the influx of vacationers. The expediency of developing a draft system for assessing the sanitary and epidemiological reliability (disadvantage) of the recreation zone for ranking objects and creating an electronic database of objects is considered. This set of measures will effectively provide a risk-oriented model of sanitary and epidemiological control (supervision) over recreation areas.
