Adopted at the 4-th Ukrainian Conference

« Methods and means of survival in the ecologically intense regions ».

The extent of environmental pollution in a number of regions of Ukraine have reached the critical level. Main air pollutants are transport, enterprises of power engineering and metallurgical industry, considerable damage is caused by the use of pesticides, which even in small dozes render negative influence on human health. The intensive pollution of water basin is being continued. Ukraine occupies one of the first places in the world by the amount of accumulated wastes.

The steady fall of the population increase in Ukraine forces to search for effective ways in order to prevent the inhabitants extinction, to ensure their survival in conditions of ecological crisis.

The main directions of the concept of survival of the population:

1. Ecologization of industrial and agricultural production.
2. Creation of the ecologically favourable habitat.
3. Preventive measures, adaptation and rehabilitation of the population to technological overloads.

1. The basis for the concept of survival - the following main directions:

• In the epoch of the deep economic crisis the economical and ecological tasks need to be solved simultaneously, submitting the unified strategy, which is not developed yet in Ukraine, and in other more ecologically advanced countries has received the name of the strategy "of sustainable development", the first step of which is "ecologization of economy".
• Ecologization of economy assumes the turn of the main attention and means primarily not to the sphere of consumption, but to the perfection of the objects, which are actual or potential sources of environmental pollution.

2. The main directions of creation of the ecologically favourable habitat of the man.

• Elaboration of the methods and means of quality control over automobile fuel and, first of all, over the contents of aromatic connections in its composition, introduction of the fuel quality monitoring system.
• Prohibition on the sale of petrol containing tetraethyl lead since 2000.
• Introduction of the system of general use of dopes for fuel and oils ensuring sharp reduction of emissions toxicity of motor transport with diesel and carburettor engines.
• Introduction of catalytic filters for activation of fuel burning in transport engines, ensuring more complete combustion of fuel and reduction of exhaust gases toxicity etc.
• Elaboration, development of manufacture and introduction of local devices of air conditioning and air purification by various methods: ozonization, electroreological filtration, use of pulse generators, repeated inversion of phases, wet and dry clearing by physical-chemical methods etc.

• Elaboration and introduction of the new technologies of water treatment and water disinfecting without the use of chlorinating. Development and introduction of block-modular units for local water clearing by modern methods of electrocoagulation, electroflotation, thin-layered setting, electroreological filtration, electrochemical oxidation etc.
• Elaboration and development of block and local ozonizing units for drinking water production. Elaboration and development of manufacture of mobile units of various model sizes for complex water tertiary treatment. Creation of drinking water tertiary treatment units of the new generation (with the use of electrical stationary and non-stationary fields).
• Creation and organisation of manufacture of individual household and group modular devices for drinking water purification from heavy metals, radioactive nuclides, organic admixtures.

• Development and practical realization of methods of recultivation of lands from pollution by heavy metals, radioactive nuclides, pesticides and other products of man’s technogenous activity.
• Creation and introduction into agricultural manufacture practice of electroaerosol agricultural engineering with the purpose of reduction of food products pollution.
• Maximum reduction of herbicides and pesticides applecation in agricultural manufacture.

• Development and introduction of the new foodstuff on the basis of vegetative raw material with the use of the natural bio-additives with adaptogenous and immunogenous properties ensuring prophylactic of diseases of ecological aetiology, and also antitechnogenous action on human organism.
• Creation of the new and expansion of the operating production of pectin, clearing human organism from radioactive nuclides and heavy metals (from apple marc, beet-chips, formed at the tinned food enterprises, sugar-refineries), organisation of manufacture of food products with pectin additives.
• Development, research of the efficiency of bio-antioxidants complex, development of techniques of their application and organisation of industrial manufacture. Development of technology and organisation of manufacture of medical and medical-prophylactic extracts and balsams and elixirs from natural vegetative raw material.
• Elaboration and development of manufacture of desserts and drinks on the basis of products of processing of fruit, berries and vegetables, milk, as well as confectionery having adaptogenous properties.

• Organisation of the ecological certification of dwelling. Realisation of inspections of the basement and semi-basement premises of public usage for radon detection, development and introduction of the recommendations on reduction of radon concentration up to MAC.
• Creation and introduction of the system of ecological certification of building materials.
• Creation of production of ecologically safe furniture without the use of phenol-containing materials, for example, at the expense of the use of elements with cellular filling and composite materials of WSP-, WFP-type, in which ecologically safe secondary polymeric materials are used as binding.

3. Ensuring of preventive measures, adaptation and rehabilitation of the population in ecologically adverse conditions:

1. Creation of the network of continuous ecological education, education of the population, preparation and retraining of the experts mastering methods of preventive measures, adaptation and rehabilitation of the man.
2. Development and introduction of the system of diagnostics, adaptation, improvement and rehabilitation of the persons, which took part in liquidation of the consequences of disaster at Chernobyl nuclear power station or who have received infringement of health as the result of techno- and geopathic influences.
3. Development and introduction of non-medical methods of public health services and adaptation to technological influences.
4. Research for natural sources of vegetative adaptogenes, antistressors, immunogenes, detoxicants and development on their basis medical-prophylactic and therapeutic remedies.
5. Development of industrial technologies and creation of manufactures of adaptogenes, immunogenes, antistressors and detoxicants.
