Introduction. Europe is the region with the greatest proportion of deaths (16%) attributable to tobacco smoking worldwide. Medical students and physicians should set an example of tobacco-smoking abstinence for their patients. Aim. The aim of the study was to compare opinions on behaviors and attitudes of Czech and Polish medical students about tobacco smoking and the position of a physician in anti-smoking counseling. Material and methods. The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 707 medical students in Czech Republic in 2011 and among 1164 medical students in Poland. Results. Twety percent of polish and 25,7% of Czech medical students declared current tobacco smoking. Eighty-one percent in Poland and 60% in Czech Republic felt that physicians should be trained in smoking cessation techniques but only 27% of the medical students in Poland and 2,8% in Czech Republic , declared that such a course had been realized during the course of their education. Conclusion. Over a fifth of Polish students and a quarter of Czech students declared themselves as active smokers. It is worrying that about half of Polish students were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, while only one-fifth of Czech students declared such exposure. Polish and Czech students agreed that the doctor will play an important role in the patient’s smoking cessation process and that physicians should give advice on quitting smoking.

Introduction. An increasing problem in maintaining the proper level of hygiene in food industry plants is microbiological hazards, affecting the quality and safety of produced food, which in consequence may lead to the creation of many negative health effects on consumers. Aim. Determination of the degree of microbiological contamination of machinery and equipment as well as small production equipment before the commencement of production activities and rating of the effectiveness of the implemented procedures of cleaning and disinfection in a mass catering establishment. Material and methods. The research material was the surfaces of machinery and equipment as well as small production equipment used in a mass catering establishment located in the Primary School in Przemyśl. Microbiological tests were carried out using the swab method in accordance with the recommendations of the Polish Standard PN-A-82055-19: 2000. Results. The hygienic condition of the marked surfaces largely differed from the specific hygiene standards described in PN-A- 82055-19: 2000. In most cases the degree of microbial contamination was insufficient. It is recommended to follow strictly defined washing and disinfection procedures every time after finishing work and if necessary before proceeding with production. Conclusion. The obtained results showed that there was secondary microbiological contamination of the determined production areas subjected to cleaning and disinfection. It was found that the procedures of cleaning and disinfection of small production equipment, including parts of machines and devices, were properly developed, while there are discrepancies in their implementation.
