Comparative Study[Health status of children living in rural localities in the area of Totsk nuclear explosion].
The paper presents late outcomes of radiation exposure of 3205 children aged 6-17 years from native persons residing in the areas exposed to radiation 40 years ago. The spread of noncommunicable diseases in the children from the polluted area is 92%. ⋯ These include thyroid hyperplasia, lymphadenopathy, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and other diseases.

Comparative Study[Organic pollution of the Ural river in the area of open water supply of Orenburg].
The water from the Ural river contains about 230 organic chemical substances, including especially hazardous pollutants. The levels of some chemicals are 2 to 13 times higher than their maximum allowable concentrations. It is necessary to use reliable methods for water treatment at waterworks to lower the levels of drinking water pollutants.

Comparative Study[Microbiological analysis of the state of environment in the Orenburg region].
The frequency of the residual staphylococcal carriage among the children who live in rural area having different levels and patterns of environmental pollution is estimated. A relationship is found between the frequency of the residual staphylococcal carriage and the rate of technogenic pollution of the ambient air. The findings suggest that the staphylococcal carriage among children may be used as an index of the unfavorable environment.

Comparative Study[Hygienic assessment of the effects of drinking water on the population's health].
The paper presents the quality of drinking water. The carcinogenic risk of water and the coefficient of its toxic effect were calculated. The findings determine the priority of the pollutants detected in the drinking water, estimate the carcinogenic risk of water to be 1.4 per 10,000 population. It is recommended to revise specifications for the drinking water of dichloromethane, dichloroethylene, dioctyl phthalate and acrylonitrile.
