Hygiene as a science

Hygiene - a science about health, a basis of preventive medicine. It studies influence of environment on a human body and develops on the basis of this action for the prevention of harmful influence of environment and development of diseases. The environment surrounding the person, is extremely difficult: it is defined by natural, social, household factors, and also industrial-public relations. Hence, object of studying of hygiene are environment factors (physical, chemical, biological etc.) From the point of view of their influence on population health. To physical factors carry temperature, humidity and air movement, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation, noise, vibration, etc. Influence of chemical factors is expressed in influence on an organism of the various substances which are a component of factors of environment, for example air, water, a foodstuff. Biological factors are pathogenic microorganisms, gelminty, disease of the person can cause the pincers, which influence. Conditions of a life which are connected with social way of a society, - character of labour activity, a food, living conditions etc. have great value also.

And. P.Pavlov noticed, that disease arises when the person is exposed to influence unusual on force or quality of factors as balance between environment and an organism is thus broken. Developing this thought, And. M.Setchenov wrote, that an organism without an environment supporting it, is impossible.

Hygiene is included into a complex of medical sciences. Its purpose is the prevention of diseases, instead of treatment of the sick person. Words of well-known Russian surgeon N.I.Pirogova now come true: ' I trust in hygiene. Here where true progress of our science consists. The future belongs to medicine precautionary '.

Hygiene is closely connected with social and economic sciences as the reasons of insanitary conditions and absence of an accomplishment depend not only on an environment, but also from a social society organisation, its class structure. Value socially-gigienicheskjh actions in business of health protection of the people is great. V.I.Lenin showed constant care of strengthening of sanitary business in our country.

Hygiene in a socialist society inseparably linked with sanitary practice also represents a science operating, aspiring not only to study world around, but also to change it how it is necessary for the person. Its main difference from hygiene of a capitalist society is the social orientation at carrying out of improving actions which in capitalist conditions are at a loss or excluded in general because of an existing private property on the earth and means of production at operation of the person by the person.
