Функціонально-екологічна експертиза Шаргородського району Вінницької області

The environment has recently been under significant anthropogenic pressure which is one of the main reasons for the increase of ecologically dependent diseases and requires mandatory and constant environmental as well as medical monitoring for operational control of the environmental situation. 700 children of different genders living in the villages Golinchyntsi, Dzhuryn and Rahny Lisovi of Sharhorod District in Vinnytsia Region were examined with the help of functional-vegetative electropuncture diagnostics by the method of V.G. Makats. Moreover, the coefficient of the autonomic nervous system (vegetative) was also determined as a result of the ratio of the indicators sum of the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous systems. The children were divided into 3 groups according to the following coefficient: those with parasympathetic activity, vegetative-functional balance and sympathetic activity. The number of examined children in the group shown in % indicates the ecological condition of compact settlement and is the basis of functional and ecological expertise (FEE). In addition, it forms criteria for the zones of the ecological control. As a result of the research, we have found for the first time that a decrease in the number of examined children in the vegetative-functional balance zone and an increase in parasympathetic activity are the main characteristics that reflect the negative impact of environmental factors (in this case anthropogenic radiation contamination). The results of FEE of the children living in the villages Golinchyntsi, Dzhuryn and Rahny Lisovi of Sharhorod District in Vinnytsia Region coincide with the results of the state radioecological monitoring of these settlements. Accordingly, this testifies to the efficiency and accuracy of the FEE. FEE can be used to assess the impact of any environmental factor on the human body or group of people. Bioindication methods, which include FEE, can qualitatively and quantitatively assess the biological effects of environmental factors in ecosystems. The use of the human body as a test object is considered to be the advantage of FEE usage which guarantees greater information and allows not only for an integrated assessment of environmental factors and but also to identify the rate of the change occurring in areas of compact settlements. Consequently, FEE will help to regulate the allowable loads on ecosystems that differ in their resistance to the damaging factor and will also allow making appropriate correlations regarding the possible impact of environmental factors on human health.
