The numerous examples from the Fund of the all-Union state sanitary inspection in the State archive of the Russian Federation were involved into consideration of issues of conservation of water in open reservoirs and air quality in cities. The conclusion is made about the inability of sanitary organization to implement assigned tasks of environmental safety due to disregarding of these issues by authorities, lacking of necessary legislative basis, subordinated position of sanitary services and deficiency of funds and manpower.sanitary safetyenvironmentthe USSRsanitary legislationthe USSR state sanitary inspectionhistory of medicineсанитарная охрана окружающей среды в СССРсанитарное законодательствогосударственная санитарная инспекция в СССРистория медицины1.Бабаянц Р.
