Comparative Study[Assessment of the significance of climatogeographic conditions as health risk factors].
Under the conditions of hot and mountain-continental climate, the morbidity rates in the inhabitants were estimated to be significantly lower than those in young men who had not been acclimatized or adapted to living conditions and in non-acclimatized men. A role of individual physical environmental factors (temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, average and maximum air speed) and integral exposure by the wind chill index (a combined impact of an air speed and ambient temperature) as risk factors to human health was defined, The mountain-continental climate showed a relationship of the influence of these factors to habitation at different altitudes above sea level.

Comparative Study[Scientific rationale for a scheme for the environmental and hygienic assessment of a solid domestic waste burial ground].
A scheme for the environmental and hygienic assessment of a functioning solid domestic waste (SDW) burial ground was experimentally tested, by taking into account regional features. The study involved the assessment of climatic, geological, and hydrogeological features of the region, the sanitary-and-hygienic assessment of the activity of a SDW burial ground, and the hygienic assessment of ambient air, soil, and water in the SDW burial ground functioning area. The developed scheme may be used to modify a manufacturing inspection program.

[Problems in harmonization of hygienic requirements for swimming pools with the international recommendations].
The paper considers the ways of harmonizing the hygienic requirements for the safe use of swimming pools. It proposes a procedure for substantiating the safe use of water disinfectants on the basis of real exposure factors, by bearing in mind their complex action. The proposed procedure is comparatively assessed with the methods and criteria laid down in foreign normative documents.

Comparative Study[Causes of death in the Sverdlovsk region's population suffered from emergency radiation situations at the Mayak production association].
Mortality rates were found to increase in three districts of the region (Kamensky, Bogdanovichsky, and Kamyshlovsky ones) after radiation accidents. The highest rate was characteristic of the Kamensky District. ⋯ In these study areas, the change in death rate was most evident for causes, such as circulatory diseases, malignancies, and infectious diseases. An increase in the rates of mortality from perinatal abnormalities and congenital defects was observed in children.
