Comparative Study[Comparative characteristics of environmental factors of rural localities in the area of Totsk nuclear explosion].
Environmental pollution of rural settlements in the vicinity of Totsk nuclear explosion was investigated. The findings show that the blanket of snow, soil and drinking water in the polluted area did not differ from those in the control district. High levels of stable strontium in the soil and drinking water and those of iodine in the water were detected. The concentrations of plutonium-239, 240 and cesium-137 in the soil were higher than the levels of global sediments and the baseline values of cesium-137 for the Orenburg Region.

Comparative Study[Effect of thermal power stations on the sanitary and biological conditions of water reservoirs].
Discharge of thermal waters from power stations can result in the development of thermophilic microorganisms in the water reservoirs and increased water pollution. Increased water temperature changes relationships between lysozyme-active and antilysozyme-active bacteria. The quality of water gets worse.

Comparative Study[Radio-ecological and genetic assessment of late consequences of Totsk nuclear explosion].
Radio-ecological and cytogenetic assessments were made in the vicinity of Totsk nuclear explosion in the Orenburg Region. Increased contents of radioactive isotopes Cs and Pu were detected in the soil. A comparative cytogenetic analysis indicated that the population continued to be exposed to radioactive agents.

Comparative Study[Hygienic assessment of physical and psychophysiologic development of children residing in the area of emissions of Orenburg gas-producing plants].
The children and adolescents residing in rural settlements located in the vicinity of sites of industrial extraction and processing of hydrogen sulphide-containing gas were studied. The drinking water and ambient air in these settlements were shown to be polluted. Low indices of the children's mental, physiological, and physical development were revealed.
