Purpose. Assessment of bioclimatic conditions of cold season on the basis of weather severeness indices and analysis of their dynamics on the territory of Ukraine. Methods. Estimation of possible values of some cold stress indices and their changes in different regions of the country is based on two scenarios А1В and А2. Results. Possible consequences of climate change on human health in Ukraine are considered. On the base of Bodman index and wind chill factor of Siple-Passel, there are given forecast parameters of uncomfortable climate within three periods: 1986-2005, 2011-2030 and 2031-2050 years. According to both scenarios, mean values of Bodman index during the given periods on the major part of Ukraine reach to 2-3 points and this means that during certain winter months and whole winter moderate severe conditions will prevail, though in western and southern areas will dominate slightly severe ones. According to both scenarios, during December-January within first and second periods in some areas of the country even high risk of hypothermia is possible, as well as frostbite of open parts of the skin in 5-10 minutes can occur. The most severe conditions are expected in January-February in Sumy (A1B) and Lugansk (A2), the least severe – in Kropyvnytsky (A1B) and Ternopil (A2). The trend of hypothermia and frostbite conditions change during the winter season in different regions of the country has been analyzed. Conclusions. The trend of decrease of Bodman index prevails on the whole territory of the country during all winter months. Weather conditions in February are the harshest in first and third periods and weather conditions in January-February are the most severe in the second period (А1В), according to another scenario for the whole researched time the harshest conditions are observed in January. In all analyzed time periods, in December winter weather conditions were the most comfortable according to both scenarios. But mostly repeatability of wind chill factor of Siple-Passel prevailed in the interval of 0 ÷ -9 ºC, thus a slight risk of frostbite, some discomfort will be observed. So, in winter expected compounds of low air temperature and wind in certain days in future might cause frostbite of different levels, they will influence on spreading of infections epidemics and «cold» diseases.

Ensuring the sanitary and biological well-being of the country is one of the most important aspects of national security in terms of public health. Hygienic problems caused by pollution of the territory of settlements by waste from production and consumption remain among the priority ones. Purpose. The development of hazardous compound of municipal solid waste classification, which is the precondition of its treatment system in regions of Ukraine. Methods. Critical analysis of the existing provisions on the principles of hazardous compound of municipal solid waste classification and the approaches to treatment of their flows. Results. Classifications of individual components of the hazardous compound in municipal solid waste (medical waste and waste of electrical and electronic equipment) have been proposed. Ensuring ecological well-being in the regions of Ukraine largely depends on the efficiency of the functioning of the system of dealing with hazardous components of Solid Waste in general and with medical waste in particular. The first step in creating a system for handling medical waste is their classification. We have developed a classification of medical waste, in which all of them are divided into three main categories: waste of veterinary clinics (polyclinic); Wastes of humanitarian treatment and prophylaxis establishments, waste of the communal sectorctor For the first time in the classification of medical waste, waste from veterinary clinics was taken into account. Conclusions. The developed classifications of the components of the hazardous compound flow of municipal solid waste, as well as the principles of their use in the sphere of solid waste management, help to prevent the negative impact of these wastes on the environment and transfer a significant part of them to the state of secondary material resources.
