Review[Problems in the ascertainment of sizes of the control areas of natural gas industrial projects].
The paper reviews the problems in the ascertainment of sizes of the control areas of industrial projects, including those of natural gas industry, and analyzes discrepancies in the normative-legal base. The historical aspects and results of substantiating the safe sizes of control areas for the projects of the Orenburg oil-gas condensate field are presented.

Review[Methodology for integrated assessment of anthropogenic and socioeconomic factors in the formation of a human health risk].
In the context of modern preventive medicine and a diversity of criteria for assessing the health status and the quality of the environment, the author has used an algorithm of comprehensive studies, which includes a differential analysis of the quality of the environment, by identifying xenobiotics in the atmosphere, soil, drinking water, and foodstuffs, then by ranging environmental factors in each specific region, by making a pooled assessment of a risk, by calculating the integral indices of public and community health, and by taking into account the socioeconomic situation in an area. Six priority indices of the 35 environmental ones, as well as 8 socioeconomic conditions that are most closely related with demographic parameters (r > 0.9) have been identified from the summarized environmental and socioeconomic conditions in the urbanized areas. Four ecological indices and 11 socioeconomic conditions have been identified in the rural areas.

Comparative Study[The structure of an aerogenic load and risk to human health in an industrial town's residential area].
Chemical air pollution of the residential and industrial areas of a town was evaluated. There was a significant relationship of the average daily actuating concentrations of priority substances to the air pollution of the study areas, the average annual concentrations of ambient air pollutants to their seasonal values. The structure of the risk to community health and the contribution of the industrial environment to the formation of a health risk were ascertained.

Comparative Study[Regional features of children's biological reactions to environmental factors].
The levels of trace elements in the biological substrates were comparatively analyzed in the children living in the towns of Aktobe, Orenburg, and Orsk. The values of blood metals were ascertained in the Aktobe children residing in the areas differently spaced from the town's industrial zone. Immunity was evaluated and the degree of immunodeficiency was established.

Comparative Study[Influence of environmental factors on the pediatric population in the urbanized and rural areas of the Orenburg Region].
The paper gives the data of studies establishing the regularities of formation of the composition, levels, and space-time features of pollution of ambient air, soil, and drinking water in the risk of their influence of the health status of the children residing in the urbanized and rural areas. The studies have ascertained that the magnitude of a complex anthropogenic load of the environment on the pediatric population living in the urbanized area is 4.9 times higher than that in the rural area. ⋯ The urbanized area has been found to be most unfavorable as to the risk of development of non-carcinogenic effects with the calculated hazard indices being kept in mind. The same trend is shown for the calculated population risk indices.
