In medical science in recent years hygienic methods related to the assessment of the risk of environmental factors affecting human health have been significantly developed. That is why it is important for future physicians to have a variety of risk assessment methods for human health. The purpose of the work was to share the experience of implementation of the research results of the Hygiene and Ecology Institute into the course of teaching the discipline “Hygiene and Ecology” at the hygienic departments of O. Bohomolets NMU. Methods of analysis, synthesis and systematization of information, statistical methods were used in this work. At the practical lessons on the topic “Hygienic assessment of the potential risk of environmental factors affecting the human body and the health of the population” students have an opportunity to get acquainted with the methodology developed by us for the integrated assessment of the potential danger of exposure of pesticides to the human body when using contaminated water. They solve situational tasks in assessing and predicting the risk of harmful effects on the human body when using water contaminated with pesticides, giving recommendations for the prevention of such effects. Thus, we have developed and introduced the method of integrated risk assessment for human health during the consumption of pesticide-contaminated water in the course of teaching the discipline “Hygiene and Ecology”. Introducing future physicians with modern approaches of harmful and dangerous environmental factors assessment is an important part of their training, which brings it to the European level.
