[Evaluation of the efficiency of measures to reduce the influence of risk factors on human health].
65% of the region's population is covered by the complex monitoring and control of environmental factors. Chemical contamination of drinking water with iron, manganese, boron, or nitrates makes a 60% contribution to anthropogenic load. Implementation of the measures of a special urban program could reduce the proportion of the drinking water, which did not meet the hygienic standards by sanitary chemical indicators, in Voronezh from 10.2% in 1999 to 8.5% in 2008 and halve the concentration of manganese and iron.

[Evaluation of exposure of the Moscow population to ambient air pollution by carcinogenic substances].
The rapid growth of motor transport in Moscow has led to a substantial increase in the volumes of pollutant emissions into the city's air. As of 2007, the motor transport fleet of the city approximated 3 million units annually consuming about 5 million tons of motor fuel. ⋯ The levels of total carcinogenic risks from the impact of the average concentrations of formaldehyde and benzene in the period 2005 to 2007 in all areas correspond to the maximum permissible (alarm) risk that requires measures to improve ambient air. According to the results of the investigation, health promotion measures are recommended to the Government of Moscow.
