On The Situation With Acute Poisoning With Alcohol-Containing Products Of The Population Of The Russian Arctic

Abstract

The purpose of the study was a comparative analysis of the indicators of acute poisoning cases with alcoholic products of the population living in 4 regions of the Russian Arctic and the identification of risk areas. We used the regional bases of toxicological monitoring for 2008-2020 in 4 regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (Murmansk Oblast, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). The research found that risk areas of poisoning with alcoholic products are the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Despite a pronounced trend towards a decrease in the rates of acute poisoning among the population of these regions to levels below the national average, the problem of poisoning with alcoholic products remains extremely relevant. Considering that the consumption of alcoholic products in the northern regions is traditionally high, it is necessary to improve the method of toxicological monitoring and in-depth study of the causes of poisoning.
