Impact of Riverbank Anthropogenic Pollution Sources on the Formation of River Water Quality ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS Vol. 3, No. 2, 2018 IMPACT OF RIVERBANK ANTHROPOGENIC POLLUTION SOURCES ON THE FORMATION OF RIVER WATER QUALITY Nataliia Magas, Hanna Trokhymenko Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding 9, Heroiv Ukrainy Av., Mykolaiv, 54025, Ukraine [email protected] Received: 11.06.2018 © Magas N., Trokhymenko H., 2018 Abstract. The method of estimation of the impact of framework lacks a document which would officially riverbank anthropogenic pollution sources on the approve a particular method of estimation of water quality, formation of river water quality is proposed. A assessment and description of the impact of riverbank point description of the influence of housing and utility pollution sources on water bodies and recommend it for providers on water bodies within Mykolaiv region is application in general practice [10, 11]. made. The obtained results can be applied in the Hence, a complex of regional measures on river development of measures aimed at improvement of the restoration should be established with the help of a brand ecological situation in the area under study. new approach based on estimation of the probability of occurrence of the economic activity consequences Key words: anthropogenic loading, environmental hazard, adversely affecting people and the environment. wastewater, harmful impact, pollution source. The article aims at application of a new methodical approach to assessment of the impact of riverbank sources 1. Introduction of wastewater discharge on the formation of surface water quality in Mykolaiv region on the example of public One of the major current problems of water utilities, substantiating their hazard level by analyzing the resource preservation on the territory of Ukraine is wastewater composition and water body loading. critical reduction in self-replicating capabilities of rivers and depletion of the water resource potential. 2. Research data and methods These processes are predominantly caused by excessive anthropogenic loading on water bodies and The impact of riverbank sources of return water extensive water management. The formation of river discharge on the state of water bodies within water quality is substantially affected by a continuous Mykolaiv region has been studied in accordance with discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater and the developed technique. It is based on the logical- disorderly wastewater removal from settlements, mathematical model taking into account the industrial facilities and agricultural areas. This composition of wastewater discharged by a pollution situation urges to perform constant monitoring of source into the water environment as well as the level water quality in water bodies, as well as control and of its treatment, monitoring, and water body loading assessment of the impact of major water pollution [10, 11, 12]. sources [1, 2]. A detailed assessment of the impact of pollution The issues of comprehensive water quality assessment sources has been carried out with the help of for water bodies have been elaborated by many assessment tables by scoring each of them on a scale Ukrainian scholars (Konenko A. D., Aliokin O. A., of 0 to 5 points. The resulting points were grouped, Oksiiuk O. P., Zhukinskyi V. S., Romanenko V. D., average values were calculated, and the weighting Yatsyk A.

Hubetova Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital, Odesa, Ukraine Odessa National Medical University, Odesa, Ukraine Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease in the Southern Ukraine Abstract. Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with accumulation of alpha-synuclein and the formation of Lewy bodies inside nerve cells. The prevalence of PD ranges from 100 to 200 cases per 100,000 population. However, in the Ukrainian reality, many cases of the disease remain undiagnosed, which affects the statistical indicators of incidence and prevalence. The purpose of the study is to compare PD epidemiological indices in the Southern Ukraine with all-Ukrainian rates. Material and methods. Statistical data of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, public health departments of Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson regions for 2015–2017 were analyzed. There were used the methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results. Average prevalence of PD in Ukraine is 67.5 per 100,000 population — it is close to the Eastern European rate. The highest prevalence was registered in Lviv (142.5 per 100,000), Vinnytsia (135.9 per 100,000), Cherkasy (108.6 per 100,000) and Kyiv (107.1 per 100,000) regions. The lowest rates were in Luhansk (37.9 per 100,000), Kyrovohrad (42.5 per 100,000), Chernivtsi (49.0 per 100,000) and Ternopil (49.6 per 100,000) regions. In the Southern Ukraine, the highest prevalence of PD was found in Mykolaiv region.

The purpose of the work is to find out the features of the population settlement in the region of the Ukrainian Black Sea region. In the studied region, due to the territorial differentiation of economic activity, change in the intensity of economic use of the territory and the population density can be distinguished by the coastal, middle and peripheral economic zones. It was established that the supporting framework of urban settlement in the Ukrainian Black Sea region is characterized by a fairly sparse network, and the settlement process itself is in many respects still in the stage of formation, incompleteness.
