Application of an integrated approach to assessing the quality of drinking water

The new Arctic development strategy until 2035 secures Russia's interests in the Arctic, including ensuring a high standard of living and well-being for Russian citizens living in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is a region with a high reserve of resources and an actively developing industry. Water bodies used for domestic and drinking water supply of the district's population are often used by the United States over oil and gas deposits, which can contribute to water pollution with oil products, phenols and other restricted substances. In order to make timely management decisions, it is necessary to use methods for assessing the risk to public health, including the calculation of integral indicators of drinking water quality based on chemical safety indicators. Monitoring of drinking water quality in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in 2024 was carried out in 14 settlements. Based on the formed database of laboratory research results and drinking water quality indicators, health risk indicators were calculated. The values of the integral indicator of drinking water quality in the settlements of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug vary from 0.09 to 21.0. Risk values exceed permissible levels in the cities of Labytnangi, Nadym, Novy Urengoy, Salekhard, Tarko-Sale, the settlement of Tazovsky, and the village of Yar- Sale. Chronic risk values do not exceed the permissible level. Risk values in all settlements (except for the urban-type settlement of Kharp and the village of Kharsaim) exceed the levels permissible for the population.
