Quality of Drinking Water and Adolescents’ Task Performance in the South of the Russian Far East

INTRODUCTION: The sanitary and epidemiological reliability (SER) of a centralized drinking water supply system (CDWSS) is one of the determining factors of the quality of drinking water, and it is assessed by a special methodology developed by Erisman Federal Scientific Center for Hygiene. AIM: To conduct a comprehensive hygienic assessment of SER considering microbiological parameters of drinking water quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted jointly with the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Ryazan region (RR) in six district centers of the RR supplied with water from different aquifers. Water samples were taken according to the standard method of Methodological Guidelines (MUK) 4.2.1018-01. Microbiological parameters of drinking water quality were determined in the selected water samples in accordance with the Sanitary Norms and Regulations (SanPiN) 1.2.3685-21. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2019 and IBM SPSS Statistics 19. RESULTS: The recorded levels of generalized complex parameter SER of CDWSS were as follows: Skopin, 1.6 points (the most unfavorable situation); Mikhailov, 1.3 points; Ryazhsk, 1.1 points; Kasimov, 0.4 points; and Korablino and Sasovo, 0.3 points each (the least unfavorable situation). In Skopin, Ryazhsk, and Mikhailov, a strong correlation was found between the increased content of the microbiological parameters and the incidence of dysentery and acute intestinal infections of viral etiology in the adolescent population. CONCLUSION: The lowest levels of SER of the CDWSS were recorded in Skopin, Mikhailov, and Ryazhsk. A direct correlation of high strength was found between the exceedance of the permissible values of the microbiological parameters of drinking water and the incidence of dysentery and intestinal infections of viral etiology among adolescents in these towns.

Today, the issue of preservation, maintenance and development of mental performance is of great importance due to social transformation and the school and higher education system upgrade. The growing body of information, continuous modernization of the training programmes, the use of various technical training aids that result in intensification of cognitive activity have a negative impact on the students' mental state. The study was aimed to assess the medical students' mental performance indicators in relation to the time of the day and the daily fluid intake. A total of 300 students were enrolled, who had both morning and afternoon (after lunch) classes. Mental performance of medical students was assessed using the Anfimov's table. It was found that the students' mental performance depended not only on the start time, but also on the water consumption regime. The main trends of water consumption in young adults were defined: moderate water consumption (1–2 L per day) prevailed, low water consumption (less than 1 L per day) was ranked second, and high water consumption (more than 2 L per day) was the rearest.

The paper studies the results of social and hygienic monitoring of drinking water from centralized water supply systems carried out in the Primorsky Krai, in comparison with Russian indicators according to state reports. Attention is paid to the state of sanitary protection zones, a comparative characteristic of underground and surface sources of drinking water is given in terms of sanitary and epidemiological well-being. There is a decrease in the proportion of samples in the Primorsky Krai that are unsatisfactory in sanitary and epidemiological terms, due to the elimination of water sources that do not have sanitary protection zones along the region. In terms of sanitary and chemical indicators, the proportion of detected unsatisfactory samples taken from underground sources is higher than that of samples taken from surface sources. There is a lag in the provision of high-quality drinking water to the rural population compared to the urban population, and this gap is predicted to increase due to migration outflow to the urban environment and the postponement of the reconstruction of water supply systems. The leading role of surface sources in providing water supply to the largest number of the population of Primorsky Krai, the laboriousness of water treatment and transportation of water against the background of a reduction in the number of sources and centralization of water supply around more productive water sources are noted. The frequency of non-standard samples of drinking water in terms of microbiological indicators is included in the list of primary factors affecting the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the region. In the Primorsky Krai, hydrogeochemical provinces were identified according to the increased content of manganese in the water and the physiological inferiority of drinking water. The importance of assessing the quality of drinking water, which has a significant impact on the formation of public health, is emphasized.
