Laws and technologies of information influence of electromagnetic fields on biological structures
- Authors:
- N. P. Kalashnikov
The dependence of biological effects on frequency (37-53 GHz) and power density (1-5mW/cm2) of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) at different spatial distributions of intensity due to diffraction and interference of radiation on multilayer biostructures has been established. It has been established that certain modes of EMR exposure on food products lead to a significant increase in the shelf life of products, without deterioration of their consumer properties, and in some cases with improvement of consumer properties. Among foodstuffs were studied: meat with and without vacuum packing, milk, mushrooms, tangerines and others.

Direction of activity of interuniversity scientific-educational center on problems of human ecology on the basis of Tomsk State University
- Authors:
- G. V. Maier
The Interuniversity Research and Education Center for Human Ecology was established on the basis of Tomsk State University. The Center's activity is based on the conceptual model of human ecology as a complex interdisciplinary knowledge, including not only the laws of human adaptation to environmental conditions and non-destructive development of nature, but also the parameters of environmental orientation of consciousness. The main activity of the Center is carried out in three directions: a) development of inter-disciplinary research in the field of human ecology and habitat, including physical, genetic, physiological, legal, sociological aspects and implementation of research results in international, federal and sectoral programs, industry and educational process; b) organization and development of the activity of the "Regional Center for Collective Use in Ecology, Genetics and Environmental Protection", providing interdisciplinary research and training of highly qualified personnel for universities of Siberia; c) development of new forms and technologies of education, their scientific and methodological support and formation of the system of open environmental education in the region on the basis of the university.

Analysis of influence of green plantations structure on population health
The most common diseases, such as influenza, acute viral infections (ARVI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections (tuberculosis and pneumonia) were chosen as criteria for health indicators, as they can be sampled in large enough volumes. In addition, respiratory diseases may reflect the role of green spaces in health changes. The results obtained do not provide a definite answer as to whether there are any pronounced trends. In some cases, the relationship between the area of green spaces and respiratory morbidity in children was the opposite of the expected one. Factors such as the social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In the future, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters studied, especially with regard to plantations.

Research on environmentally friendly chemical current sources
- Authors:
- B. I. Adamson
The reduction of the corrosion rate of the zinc anode of the chemical current source (CPS) through the use of inhibitors effectively replacing mercury was investigated. The greatest effect was obtained when alloying zinc alloy with Pb and Cd in combination with an organic inhibitor introduced into the electrolyte.

Comprehensive environmental assessment of the state of recreational water areas in areas of energy transport flows
The St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University analyzed the ecological diversity and state of recreational areas of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region on the coast and water area of the Gulf of Finland. Recreational loads, pollution sources, volume and composition of effluents, etc. were determined. The state of small rivers crossed by the Baltic pipeline system in the recreational area of St. Petersburg as sources of potential danger of water pollution by oil products is assessed. Data on the development of energy and fuel transportation system on the coast of the Gulf of Finland (ports, oil and coal terminals, energy facilities, etc.) and their impact on the environment are systematized. nd a comprehensive ecological assessment of the state of water areas in the zones of energy transportation flows requires processing and analysis of a large volume of information materials. For this purpose, information-analytical database (DB) "Recreational water use" is created. The database is relational, created on the basis of standard MS Office package in Access software environment and consists of a number of related tables (characteristics of recreational potential, anthropogenic loads, objects of fuel and energy complex, etc.) for assessment and forecasting of the state of recreational water areas.

Establishment of an interuniversity research and education center on human ecology at Tomsk State University
- Authors:
- G. V. Maier
An interuniversity research and education center for human ecology has been established at Tomsk State University. The main goal of the center is to create a scientific and educational system and to conduct complex interdisciplinary research in the field of human ecology. The concept of coordinating the activities of universities in the development of the direction "Human ecology", new technologies of ecological education and introduction of the results of scientific research into international, federal and sectoral programs, industry and educational process is being developed. As part of the Center, a Regional Center for Collective Use in Ecology, Genetics and Environmental Protection was established at Tomsk State University, whose main task is to create a material and technical base for conducting complex interdisciplinary research and training highly qualified personnel for universities in Siberia.

Analysis of the impact of green space structure on public health
The most common diseases: influenza, acute viral infections (ARI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections: tuberculosis and pneumonia were chosen as criteria indicators of public health, because we could get a fairly large sample size for them, as well as determine the impact of green spaces on public health. The results do not show any clear trends. In some cases, the relationship between green space and respiratory disease in children is reversed. Factors such as social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In further analysis, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters investigated, especially with regard to plantations.
