Comparative Study[Schooling conditions and children's morbidity at schools of small towns of the Krasnoyarsk Territory].
The paper gives a brief analysis of the prevalence and trends of childhood morbidity in small towns of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Morbidity in small towns is shown to be greater than the average territorial rate. The increase in overall morbidity in children is affected by the schooling environment where a child stay 6-8 hours daily and that ensures no conditions for keeping and promoting the child's health at school at the present stage. Monitoring of material resources yields a special territorial program whose major task is to increase the sanitary-and-epidemiological well-being at general educational establishments.

Review[Organization of monitoring of electromagnetic radiation in the urban environment].
The authors describe new current approaches to monitoring the environment, including the sources of electromagnetic radiation and noise. Electronic maps of the area under study are shown to be made, by constructing the isolines or distributing the actual levels of controlled factors. These current approaches to electromagnetic and acoustic monitoring make it possible to automate a process of measurements, to analyze the established situation, and to simplify the risk controlling methodology.

Comparative Study[Hygienic assessment of combined action of ambient air pollutions in the localities].
The paper describes the experimental studies dealing with the reflectory and resorptive effects of a gas-vapor-dust-like mixture comprising sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and suspension particles. The combined effect of the mixture when inhaled by animals was ascertained to present as the incomplete summation effect type. In the combined presence in the ambient air, the sum of shares of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and suspension particles should not be greater than 0.4 MPC of the isolated effect of each agent alone.

Review[Influence of chemical soil pollution on the population's health].
The author integrates information on the hygienic value of man-made chemical soil pollution on the population's health. He presents the results of studies of the pollution of soil and its contacting media (the sources of drinking water supply, ambient air, and crop production) with priority chemicals (heavy metals, pesticides, nitrates, nitrocompounds). The newborns and children under 14 years of age may run the greatest danger of being exposed to toxicants since all the protective systems of their organism are imperfect and are being formed.
