[Influence of ambient air pollution on children's health in Krivoĭ Rog].
The degree and nature of surface air pollution with man-made chemicals were studied in Krivoy Rog in 1996 to 2005. The priorities of pollutants were established in the area with different forms of technogenic emissions and residential areas. Immunological parameters were studied in healthy neonates and 7-10-year-old children. There was a reduction in the major immunological parameters in both healthy neonatal infants and 7-10-year-old children and a rise in pediatric morbidity.

Review[Hygienic education in pupils from general educational establishments].
The high prevalence of the major behavioral factors of a risk to health: violation of the study leisure regimen, violation of dietary pattern and quality, low motor activity, smoking, frequent alcohol abuse, drug taste, and deteriorated family microclimate, was revealed in middle and senior schoolchildren from Moscow, Kaliningrad, and Murmansk. Proposals are given to mold healthy lifestyle in adolescents and to optimize their hygienic education at general educational establishments.

Comparative Study[Assessment of human health in the areas adjacent to a large industrial center].
The paper presents data on morbidity in the population living in the suburban area of an industrial center (the city of Ryazan), by taking into account gross ambient emission from the stationary sources, ambient pollution levels, and a sanitary assessment of the quality of life. Differences were found only in the extent of specific emission (per km2 and per capita). ⋯ The comparison of childhood morbidity in the suburban areas versus a control area revealed a significant rise in morbidity with the diagnosis first established as a whole and by individual classes of diseases. Morbidity and correlation analysis in the rural areas adjacent to the industrial center suggest that ambient emission of chemicals from the stationary sources has a great impact on these parameters.

Comparative Study[Analysis of the late irradiation effects in the population of the north part of the East-Urals radioactive track].
Death records were used to analyze cancer mortality in the rural areas of the Kamensky District, Sverdlovsk Region, within the East-Urals radioactive track area. A study group showed a significant increase in cancer mortality as compared with a control group (65 of the 691 examinees; 90% confidence interval (CI) 18-144; the mean colonic radiation dose was 80 and 3 mGy in the study and control groups, respectively). The additional relative risk per colonic dose was 1.3 Gy(-1) (90% CI 0.36-2.9 Gy(-1)). The association of the additional relative risk with the age-related and time factors was studied and revealed.

[New wording of sanitary regulations and standards 2.2.1/2.1.1.120-03 "Control Areas and Sanitary Classification of Enterprises, Erections, and Other Projects"].
The paper gives the SanPiN requirements 2.2.1/2.1.1.120-03 "Control Areas and Sanitary Classification of Enterprises, Erections, and Other Objects" (a new wording), with emphasis on the new provisions concerning the problems associated with the determination of the size of a control area of both individual industrial projects and a group of industrial projects (industrial zones). Requirements for the evaluation of the efficiency of an established control area, by assessing the risk to human health have been first established.
