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.
