Abstract: For achieving the set goal, the author conducted a retrospective research. The study involved the victims of road traffic accidents aged from 18 to 70 years, who suffered maxillofacial injuries; total of 150 victims over the period from 2010 to 2020. The selected topic is a pressing medical and social problem. It is observed that the number of close and open injuries received in road traffic accidents is roughly the same. However, the open injuries qualified as moderate and severe were determined in 45 (30%) cases. The data analysis indicates that in 30.7% of cases, first aid was rendered by bystanders and/or relatives of the victims, who do not have the necessary competence and knowledge for providing such aid; in another 19.3% of cases, first aid was rendered by operational services personnel (traffic police, fire and rescue divisions), who have the necessary knowledge and skills. The absence of necessary skills for rendering first aid to the victims of road traffic accident with such type of injury explains high percentage of mistakes, which amounted to 41.3%. At the same time, the operational services personnel demonstrated good results in rendering first aid; no mistakes were detected. The analysis of the common mistakes indicates the application of physical efforts in the process of removing victims from the vehicle; no special means while the victim's head was not fixated, which causes additional injuries. In six (4.0%) cases, the spoor condition of the victims was mistaken with comatose.

Abstract: Intensive development of the environmental law starting from last 70's shows how important the environmental protection issues have grown. Back in XX century scientists, researchers and the society were mostl concerned about the protection of water and forest resources, animals and air pollution but today the threat spectrum has been changed. It does mean the aforesaid problems have been solved though. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go, but at least solutions have been developed and associated measures have been discussed including legal measures too. Today's priorities include the climate protection, waste and hazardous substances treatment, fight against environmental crime, first of all, organized crime and corruption as well as development of the environmental policy that would comply with the conditions of the gobalising world.  Twenty years ago very little was spoken of the environmental policy and its trends in our country. The decisive point was when the Environmental Conference  was held in Rio de Janeiro. However, noot all elements of the environmental policy have been modernized, developed or implemented. There are still gaps in the environmental law, too. This can be clearly seen when we analyze the environmental policy and laws in the sphere of waste treatment.  Therefore, it would make sense to view the contents and meaning of waste treatment, to evaluate how well its elements are developed and how topical its issue are and how efficient methods and measures are compared to the experience of foreign states.  The author of the article also analyzes the structure and definition of environmental policy from the point of comparative law in the European Union, EU member states and the Russian Federation. The author in detail describes the economic, envirommental and socio-psychological factors influencing the development and implementation of environmental policy.
