- Abstract
This article is devoted to the problems of drinking water quality in centralized drinking water supply systems on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as its possible impact on public health. Analysis of the current situation on the territory of the Russian Federation showed that the number of operating economic entities carrying out activities in the field of “Collection, purification and transportation of water” amounted to more than 12.8 thousand units. The share of subjects of extremely high, high and significant risk was 66.1 %. It was revealed that for the period 2012–2019, the share of drinking water supply sources and the share of samples not meeting sanitary and epidemiological requirements from these sources decreased by 2.6 % and 2.9 %, respectively. It is shown that a consequence of the decrease in the share of non-standard drinking water samples was an improvement in the situation with the associated morbidity rates in the population: since 2012, the number of cases of diseases associated with the quality of drinking water has decreased by 13.3 %. The priority substances that make the greatest contribution to cases of morbidity associated with the quality of drinking water are: arsenic, nickel, chlorine, chloroform.
