AbstractKamensk-Ural'skiy, Sverdlovsk Province, is one of the Russian industrial cities and towns exposed to a combination of radiation and chemical pollutions. This is a large industrial center of the mid-Urals, where enterprises of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, power engineering. Intensive chemical and radiation pollutions of Kamensk-Ural'skiy have an adverse impact on its population's health, which is manifested by higher morbidity rates among both children and adolescents. Comparing its matched areas by using routine analytical methods has defined the contribution of radiation to increased morbidity in different age groups, which is caused by a combination of chemical and radiation pollutions of the environment. The incidence of concomitant diseases may be an important additional indicator of the impact of environmental pollution on human health.
