  2. Main directions • Hygienic assessment of the quality of ambient air, water, soil, industrial and communal waste utilization • Scientific backgrounds for development of systems of chemical, physic and biological safety • Study of the human health effects in relation to the environmental factors (environmental epidemiology) • Detection and analysis of the canrcer and mutagenic effects • Radiation safety and anti-radiation protection • Pollen monitoring • Electromagnetic fields studies • Scientific questions of the children’s and teenagers’ hygiene • Issues of nutrition • Development and practical application of various information technologies into practical hygiene and medical ecology  • Working out regulations, standards, and preventive programs of risk reduction for the purposes of practical hygiene and medical ecology

  3. Institute’s Structure Scientific staff - 282 members Scientific fellows – 168 Academician – 1 Professors – 11 Doctors of science – 26 PhDs – 57 Young researchers – 41 Engineers and laboratory assistants – 50
