Abstract

Introduction. Mass events, including sports, such as the World Cup, can contribute to the emergence of public health risks that must be identified and eliminated. 

Material and methods. We studied data on air pollution, drinking water and soil, information on pollution sources, locations of stationary and mobile observation posts and Saransk infrastructure facilities intended for the FIFA World Cup 2018. The study used methods of hygienic assessment, analysis, and synthesis, comparisons, and generalizations, as well as assessments of risk to public health. 

Results. Moderate inhalation risks (HI up to 1.14) for respiratory organs may form fine dust (PM10 and PM2.5). The risk to public health during oral acute short-term exposure to chemicals coming from drinking water and soil did not exceed the permissible level. The concentrations of certain elements and chemicals in drinking water exceeded hygienic standards (boron up to 2.36 times, iron up to 2.88 times, fluorides up to 1.48 times). The content of benzo (a) pyrene in the soil exceeded the hygienic standard by 6.49 times. 

Discussion. The results of similar studies carried out during the period of preparation for the holding of global mass events in Russia in 2013–2019 confirmed the results and conclusions of this work. The main route of exposure of chemicals to the health of the population, guests, and participants of the events is inhalation. Additional control is needed for dust, including PM10 and PM2.5. 

Conclusion. Revision and modification of the existing system of placement of posts monitoring the quality of the environment are not required. Additional control is needed with respect to PM10 and PM2.5 (atmospheric air), fluorides, boron, iron, nitrates, and strontium (drinking water), benzo (a) pyrene (soil).
