[Relationship of structural-functional (histological and cytological) parameters with cytogenetic and cytotoxic ones in the evaluation of the influence of environmental factors on the organism].
The paper gives an assessment of the association of structural-functional (histological and cytological), cytogenetic, and cytotoxic changes in the analysis of various exposures of the body during both experiments (oral acrylamide) and population examinations (impact of pulp-and-paper mill waste on the nasal and oral mucosae). The assessment of the association of the study parameters is shown to serve to more completely objectify the pattern of actuating factors.

[Environmental and hygienic aspects of the prevalence of congenital anomalies in Primorskiĭ territory].
The authors have conducted an environmental and hygienic evaluation of the prevalence of congenital anomalies in the Primorye Territory. It has been found that there is a considerable rise in congenital anomalies in children and adolescents, which is predicted for the coming 5 years. ⋯ A combination of sanitary-and-hygienic and natural climatic factors was found to influence the incidence of congenital malformations differently. The sanitary-and-hygienic parameters of an inhabitancy play a leading role (44.5-63.1%).

The publication is the third fragment of the multiparameter study. The level and causes of genome instability and sensitivity are assessed in children living in Magnitogorsk, a city with one of the largest mills in Russia. The city is in the list of the world's 35 most polluted ones. ⋯ Contrary to the expectations, the prevalence of morbidity and diseases that were markers for an industrial town was significantly lower among the children residing in the settlements situated around the mills than that in the city's other districts. There were 9 organic compounds that had no hygienic standards, the content of which in the snow samples collected in the areas of the examined kindergartens correlated with the prevalence of the children's morbidity. Family social and living conditions were shown to affect the children's morbidity.

Comparative Study[Comparative characteristics of lead and cadmium intoxication in the Khanty-Mansi autonomous district].
The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District (KMAD) occupies a prominent place in the economy of Russia in oil and gas production and energy generation. The development of hydrocarbon raw material extraction in the district does great damage to the environment and nature. ⋯ The levels of lead, cadmium, calcium, and zinc were measured in the hair of indigenous and non-indigenous populations of the district. High lead and cadmium and low calcium and zinc concentration were found in indigenous adults and children in the KMAD.
