Comparative Study[Approaches to assessing the health risk under exposure to chemicals with account of age peculiarities].
To study the factors of exposure and to assess health risk in different age groups under exposure to chemical contaminants in drinking water in Novodvinsk. ⋯ Quantity of water used for drinking for 1 kg of body weight in children of 1-6 years was 109 ml/kg-day, 7-17 years--55 ml/kg-day, and adults--34 ml/kg-day. At concentrations of contaminants of drinking water at 90th and 98th percentile the risk to the blood system exceeds the allowable level only for children in the group of 1-6 years (CRI = 1,8 and 3,7, respectively), taking into account age-specific for the total population TCR amounted to 4.3 x 10(-5) and 9.3 x 10(-5) correspondingly.

Comparative Study[Current status and aspects of solving issues of sanitary and epidemiological well-being at the facilities of railway transport in Russia].
An analysis of modern sanitary-epidemiological status of railway transport is presented. The mean index of occupational morbidity in railway transport workers in recent years is 1.2 cases per 10 thousand railway workers. ⋯ Water samples from the sources of centralized and noncentralized water supply did not meet health standards for microbiological parameters in the 14-18%, and from the water pipes in 4-6% of cases. Suggestions for improving sanitary-hygiene monitoring in railway transport have been given.

[The public health state study as part of the risk assessment methodology].
Comparative analysis of information value of the official data sources on disease incidence and public state of health with regards to the risk assessment methodology has been made in the article. Each out of the three information sources studied here must be taken into consideration when performing risk assessment projects, for the data obtained give necessary supplementary knowledge on the human health which, in its turn, allows to determine the enterprises (production units) substantially contributing to environmental contamination in the area, and thus to develop and take appropriate management decisions towards them.
