The efficiency of the key classes of disinfecting and decontaminating chemicals, used to eliminate a biological contamination of the human habitat, was analyzed in the paper. It is underlined that, should any biological agents with unknown properties (biological terror, military threat) be detected, it is advisable to choose the ecologically less hazardous disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide, aldehydes and chlorine-containing compounds.

[Effect of hydrogen peroxide on the virulent properties of anthrax pathogen spores]. / Otsenka vliianiia peroksida vodoroda na virulentnye svoistva spor vozbuditelia sibirskoi iazvy.

The impact exerted by hydrogen peroxide on the virulent properties of anthrax pathogen spores was experimentally evaluated. Even a short-term exposure of them to a disinfect was shown to cause impairments of the functional nature in the spores' vital structures, e.g. suppression of multiplication. At the same time, the biological monitoring of disinfection efficiency does not always rule out the presence of viable pathogen spores in the disinfected objects.

[The sporicidal activity of disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide]. / Sporotsidnaia aktivnost' dezinfitsiruiushchikh sredstv na osnove peroksida vodoroda.

The authors analyzed the experience of disinfection experts related with the designing of new disinfection chemicals and of their composition variations. The key regularities were defined, which are important for the designing of effective disinfectants with preset properties capable of rapidly and safely inactivating a microbe contamination of different objects in the human habitat. A high antimicrobial activity and good outlooks are demonstrated for disinfectants made on the basis of hydrogen peroxide.

Described in the paper are the results of research, experiments and designing of individual protection means for medical personnel attending the patients with extra dangerous infections under the conditions of Meltzer boxes. The authors elaborated pressure suits that can protect the medical personnel from being infected by microbe aerosols. The testing of the mentioned protection suits in infection hospitals of Moscow, Elista, Rostov-on-Don and of other cities was positively assessed.

[The isolation of patients with highly contagious diseases]. / Sredstva izoliatsii bol'nykh s visokokontagioznymi zabolevaniiami.

The paper deals with the issue of how to prevent the spread (in the environment) of pathogens of extra dangerous infections, whose source could be a patients (not isolated in Meltzer box) with a highly contagious disease. Autonomous filtering stretchers of a special design are suggested for the transportation of patients; the design is sufficient to protect the habitat and medical personnel against being contaminated with related microbes and does not affect the physiological-and-hygienic indices of an isolated patient.

The paper deals with an objective evaluation of a qualitative storage of immunobiological drugs including all stages of "cold chain". The results of technological research and of designing related with constructing a system of indicators for monitoring the temperature regime to maintain the "cold chain" functioning are presented. The suggested devices are comparatively described.

[Problems of disinfection and decontamination in the biological protection and prevention of contagious diseases]. / Problemy dezinfektsii i dekontaminatsii v sisteme biologicheskoi zashchity i profilaktiki infektsionnykh zabolevanii.

The problems of biological protection of the general population and military staff against biological hazard sources, primarily against biological terrorism and military threat underlie works on the design of new disinfectants having a universal spectrum of antimicrobial action and less ecological hazard than currently available ones. Elimination of biological hazard require effective chemical disinfectants that can completely inactivate microbes of unknown etiology as rapidly as possible and that cause the minimum damage to environmental objects. The disinfectant PFK of various modifications is evaluated in terms of the requirements of that ecological and chemical concept aimed at testing chemicals entering the environment.

Ecological requirements to reduce negative effects of chemical disinfectants were one on major determinants the line of works to develop and introduce novel compounds that are environmentally safe hydrogen peroxide derivatives. The paper analyzes the possible routes of entering different fluorine compounds into the environment when disinfecting measures are made at therapeutical-and-preventive institutions, when emergencies occur at microbiological synthesis plants. The maximum concentration of a chemical that has no effect on biochemical processes when it is continuously used at sewage works is chosen as a safe (permissible) level. Preliminary calculations show that the use of PFK for disinfection will not pollute the environment with fluorides.
