Review[Problems in the ascertainment of sizes of the control areas of natural gas industrial projects].
The paper reviews the problems in the ascertainment of sizes of the control areas of industrial projects, including those of natural gas industry, and analyzes discrepancies in the normative-legal base. The historical aspects and results of substantiating the safe sizes of control areas for the projects of the Orenburg oil-gas condensate field are presented.

Comparative Study[Practical use of a methodology for assessing an aerogenic risk to human risk in the substantiation of a control area].
The aerogenic risk to health was assessed in the population living in an area under the influence of an petroleum refinery in order to define the ambient pollution hazard, to identify the leading risk factors and their sources for further development of the most effective managerial decisions to reduce the risk, which comprise the substantiation of the extent of a control area.

Comparative Study[Malignancy monitoring in the pediatric population of the Orenburg Region].
The paper gives the results of a retrospective epidemiological survey for malignances in the pediatric population of the Orenburg Region in 1995 to 2007. The average long-term morbidity rates were determined by the main (central, western, eastern) areas of the region; the areas were ranked by the malignancy morbidity rates among the pediatric population as a whole and by nosological entities. The authors provide the structural characteristics of cancer in the Orenburg Region as compared with the general Russian data.

Comparative Study[Use of a methodology to assess a risk at the stage of substantiating the choice of a ground area for placing industrial enterprises].
Human health risk was screened at the stage of supporting the choice of a building site for a petroleum refinery. Based on the calculated exposure levels, the risk to the Buguruslan population was characterized under different conditions: without consideration for the impact of the projected enterprise; with consideration for the pollutants contained in the emissions of the projected enterprise; at the border of an apartment block and at that of an estimated control area in five receptor points. The assessment of a human risk has revealed that the industrial enterprise cannot be sited on this territory and the estimated control area is inadequate due to the high carcinogenic and toxic risk from the formed emission of the projected enterprise.

Comparative Study[Current approaches to making an integral prenosological assessment of the health status of children and adolescents].
The development of methods for evaluating the body's condition upon exposure to different environmental factors is currently a topical problem of hygienic science. The quantitative characteristics of the body's adaptive and reserve capacities are gaining in more and more importance. In this connection, a total of 2560 children aged 8-10 years were examined. An integral assessment enables identification of 4 types of adaptive and functional capacities in children.
