Decree No. 1739-77 validating the Regulation on estimated indicators of soil sanitary condition in populated areas.

Estimated indicators of soil sanitary condition in populated areas are intended for doctors of sanitary-epidemiological stations working in the field of hygiene and sanitary protection of soil in populated areas and can be applied in the course of preventive and ongoing sanitary supervision over the soil condition of populated areas. Estimated indicators allow for an objective assessment of the sanitary condition of soil when it is contaminated with organic domestic waste in order to develop sanitary and technical measures for soil rehabilitation. Assessment of the soil sanitary condition in populated areas is based on laboratory quantitative sanitary-chemical, sanitary-bacteriological, sanitary-helminthological and sanitary-entomological indicators.
