Influence of increasing temperature and pollution of atmospheric air of the city environment as a result of climatic changes on the health of workers of social infrastructure

This article examines one of the key safety issues for workers in the open air − the increase in air pollution in the context of global climate change. Based on the analysis of monitoring data from stationary observation posts in Kiev for the state of atmospheric air, a positive trend is shown for the main components - air pollutants in recent years and their close correlation with temperature conditions. The calculation of the non-carcinogenic risk to the health of workers showed a significant level, which requires dynamic control for the production environment and a solution to the issue of risk management measures. The risk-oriented approach allows identifying not only the presence of a substance and its concentration, but also the likelihood and degree of its impact on a person at a given exposition. Purpose of the article is to analyze the effect of increasing temperature and air pollution in the urban environment due to climate change on the health of workers with the aim of developing measures to reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere and protect workers who are outdoors during the working day. Conclusion. Achieving an acceptable level of risk for workers in the areas of its maximum level can be achieved by introducing appropriate measures, which must necessarily include, in addition to organizing production, the choice of the optimal mode of work and rest, as well as personal protection equipment, namely: overalls or clothing made of natural fabrics, protective equipment for the respiratory system, head, eyes, skin, adherence to correct drinking regime, therapeutic and prophylactic nutrition, attraction to work of workers with age restrictions, constant monitoring of weather conditions and, when they deteriorate, immediate adoption of appropriate measures to improve the working conditions of workers in the open air.
