The purpose of the research: to evaluate the sanitary-parasitological status of urban waste water and the effectiveness of its disinvasion at the station of biological elimination of Yakutsk. Materials and methods. Taking of water samples and their sanitary-parasitological research have run in compliance to generally accepted in parasitology methods and confirmed statutory documents. For evaluation of the epidemical situation on tapeworm disease morbidity parameters were used, long-time average annual morbidity parameter. Results and discussion. Evaluation of parasitological pollution of sewer waste water in Yakutsk has shown that in water samples taken before clean-up as well as dregs from degritter ascaride and difillobotriida eggs were registered in 100 % cases. Ascaride and difillobotriida eggs were educed after mechanical treatment and in dregs from n-filter in 100% and 80% respectively, and also after repeated mechanical treatment and bio-treatment of water by active sludge in 33% and 17% specimens respectively. Sound eggs of ascariasis and diphyllobothriasis germs were founded in 18% and 9% water specimens respectively post-run ultraviolet irradiation. Eggs of enterobiasis germ were founded in 17% specimens of waste water. Mechanical treatment and bio-treatment cut a share of positive specimen to 8%. Seat worm’s eggs haven’t found in water samples after ultraviolet irradiation of drains. During all period of research taeniidae’s hexacanths and whipworm’s eggs haven’t found. Disinvasion methods, applied at sewage treatment facilities of Yakutsk, don’t guarantee the germs eradication of parasitic disease and don’t warrant epidemiological water safety as for ascaride and difillobotriida germs. Public utility drains, polluted by propagative forms of bio- and soil-transmitted helminth, are among of factors conditioning negative sanitary-parasitological situation of Lena river, having detrimental effect on ecological and epidemiological situation upon parasitic disease in the region.
