[Hygienic assessment of soil pollution on the territory of oil-producing regions in the Republic of Tatarstan].
The paper provides the hygienic characteristics of soil resources on the territory of oil-producing regions in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). Soil pollution with heavy metals and oil was evaluated. ⋯ The soils on the territory of oil-producing regions in RT were observed to be characterized by the low levels and poor ratio of essential trace elements, such as copper, zinc, and chromium. Significant soil manganese concentrations, the presence of arsenic and lead may be considered as factors aggravating the problem associated with deficiency of essential trace elements in the body and with the generation of endocrine biopathotype.

Comparative Study[Assessment of human health in the areas adjacent to a large industrial center].
The paper presents data on morbidity in the population living in the suburban area of an industrial center (the city of Ryazan), by taking into account gross ambient emission from the stationary sources, ambient pollution levels, and a sanitary assessment of the quality of life. Differences were found only in the extent of specific emission (per km2 and per capita). ⋯ The comparison of childhood morbidity in the suburban areas versus a control area revealed a significant rise in morbidity with the diagnosis first established as a whole and by individual classes of diseases. Morbidity and correlation analysis in the rural areas adjacent to the industrial center suggest that ambient emission of chemicals from the stationary sources has a great impact on these parameters.

Comparative Study[Childhood allergic morbidity in a town with developed petrochemical industry].
The degree of ambient pollution was studied in a town with developed petrochemical industry and allergic morbidity in its pediatric population. The specific features of the pattern and course of allergic diseases were revealed in children in relation to the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of ambient pollution. The findings permit elaboration of practical measures aimed at lowering the influence of environmental factors and to improve the health status in children.
