APPROBATION OF THE METHOD FOR RAPID ASSESSMENT OF EFFECTS OF FOREST FIRES HEALTH EXPOSED POPULATION
The purpose of research - to develop and test a methodology to assess changes in air quality and morbidity that occur under the influence of emissions from massive forest fires. The paper presents design data, giving the forecast changes in air quality and human health due to the impact of emissions from forest fires, which have been in the city of Bratsk in autumn 2011. It found that during the combustion of forest fuel, the following pollutants were identified in the air: carbon monoxide — 2637, total particulate matter — 1290, PM2.5 – 645, carbon black - 206, acetaldehyde - 184 tonnes. Calculation prognostic factor of appealability of the population for emergency medical care, can be expected to increase public appealability of emergency medical care for respiratory diseases at 15–30% relative to the original levels. These retrospective analysis showed real appealability increase uptake by 41–64%. Rapid assessment of the effects of forest fires is an essential event in emergencies.
