Hygienic assessment of living conditions in field camps

A socio-hygienic study of the actual state of field camps in the farms of 16 districts of Penza Oblast has shown that the field camp is built separately for each brigade. Of the 404 mills, 395 were permanent and represented capital structures, but none of them was built according to any standard design. More than a half of them (215) have an area of 0,3-0,5 ha. The areas of 187 camps were planted with trees or bushes, and 207 of them were fenced. The territory of the majority of field camps is not clearly zoned, let alone fenced and landscaped between the economic and household zones. Therefore, the planning structure does not maintain a sanitary gap between the various objects of industrial purpose and recreation room, catering facility. For example, grounds and sheds for parking agricultural machinery in 77 field camps and warehouses for storing fuel and lubricants in 13 remote from the rest room for only 25-50 m. The location of these production facilities does not take into account the possibility of their harmful effects on the human body in the rest room, red corner or canteen. Various smells, and less often noise, emanating from the nearby parking area for agricultural machinery, interfere with the rest of mechanics.
