Abstract

“Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the establishment of sanitary protection zone of industrial facilities” determine the requirements for the selection of land, design, construction, reconstruction, repair and commissioning of production facilities, which are sources of impact on the environment and human health, as well as requirements for hazard class of production facilities, design requirements and the size of sanitary protection zone, sanitary breaks, the grounds for revising these dimensions, methods and order of their establishment, planting of greenery and restriction on the use of the territory of sanitary protection zone. Sources of impact on the environment and human health are objects for which the levels of pollution generated outside the industrial site exceed 0.1 maximum permissible concentration (MPC) and/or maximum permissible level (MPL) or contribution to the pollution of residential area exceeds 0.1 MPC. The objective of sanitary protection area shall be to apply measures for the protection of the population against emissions of hazardous chemical substances to the atmosphere. When operating the facility, calculations of expected air pollution and levels of physical impact should be verified by the results of field studies and measurements. The dimensions of the sanitary protection zone for production facilities that are sources of physical factors affecting the population are established on the basis of acoustic calculations taking into account the location of the sources and the nature of the noise, vibration and non-ionizing radiation they generate. To establish the size of sanitary protection zone, the design parameters are confirmed by field measurements of the factors of physical impact on the atmospheric air during the operation of the facility during the year after reaching the design capacity. Sanitary protection zone must include landscape-recreational areas.
