May 9 10 o’clock The results of the study “Assessment of the effects of hazardous chemicals on human health among people with different exposures in Lithuania” will be presented in the Meeting Hall of the Alytus City Municipality.

After 2019 A biomedical investigation of the fire at the Ekologistika tire processing company in Alytus, during which various pollutants entered the environment, showed that the disaster, which received a wide response in society, probably did not affect the health of local residents and firefighters-rescuers.

The research data of people who were in the potential pollution zone – the concentration of chemical substances in their bodies and health complaints – did not differ from the indicators of the general population of Lithuania, and the obtained indicators of the concentration of chemical substances in their bodies were very similar or lower compared to the similar indicators of residents of other countries or firefighters-rescuers.

A biomedical study, which was conducted in 2020-2023, helped to assess the impact of the fire on the health of the population. conducted by the National Public Health Surveillance Laboratory (NVSPL), the Toxicology Laboratory of the Institute of Neurosciences of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, and the Medical Center of the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania, in cooperation with the Department of Fire Protection and Rescue and the National Public Health Center under the Ministry of Health.
