SANITARY-HYGIENIC CONDITIONS IN LIVESTOCK COMPLEXES AND THEIR IMPACT ON WORKERS HEALTH

Аннотация

This study is aimed at comprehensively analyzing microclimate indicators in livestock complexes, assessing their impact on workers' health and identifying potential health risks. The research objectives include identifying harmful factors, evaluating compliance with sanitary-hygienic standards, and developing effective preventive measures to mitigate adverse workplace effects. Key microclimate parameters—air temperature, relative humidity, dust particles, and harmful gases (e.g., ammonia, hydrogen sulfide)—were measured using high-precision modern equipment. To investigate workers' health status, epidemiological observations were conducted, and specially designed questionnaires were used to analyze their working conditions and health complaints. Statistical methods were applied to establish correlations between microclimate indicators and health issues. The study findings revealed that in several workplaces within livestock complexes, microclimate indicators (particularly air temperature, humidity, and toxic substance concentrations) significantly exceeded established sanitary-hygienic standards. High levels of dust particles and harmful gases in the air were found to increase the risk of respiratory diseases, allergic reactions, and other health problems. Surveys conducted among workers confirmed the adverse effects of these factors. To protect workers' health and improve working conditions, comprehensive measures are necessary to optimize the microclimate in livestock complexes. These include improving air quality, implementing engineering solutions to reduce emissions of harmful gases and dust, and ensuring strict adherence to sanitary-hygienic standards.
