The main research focus:
Theoretical and practical aspects of human ecology and environmental hygiene, water hygiene and its role in shaping the health of the population, which gained recognition at the international level, including as an expert of the World Health Organisation. The results of his research have expressed a priority.
Academician Rakhmanin is a founder of a new scientific field of hygiene – an artificially produced desalinated drinking water. There are number of studies devoted to the water supply spacecraft and crews of the Navy, the methodology hygienic regulation and biomedical research in the field of human ecology and environmental health, as well as the methodological basis of risk assessment the influence of environmental factors on human health.
