Multicenter Study Comparative Study[Preclinical health changes upon exposure to hydrocarbons of petroleum genesis].
A full-scale toxicological experiment established a complex of biochemical, clinical, and immunological parameters for the diagnosis of preconditions upon exposure to hydrocarbons, which was tested on children from two towns differing in the degree of ambient air pollution owing to hydrocarbons.

[Physical factors of the industrial environment and traffic safety].
The paper deals with the problem of optimization of working conditions of engine drivers in the control cabs of up-to-date locomotives, by toughening the sanitary-and-hygienic requirements for the levels of bad industrial factors. The authors associate the optimization of working conditions with the necessity of strengthening the reliability of their driving activity due to the increasing rail movement speeds and the transfer to one-person rolling-stock operation, and other factors.

[Assessment of a risk from aviation noise exposure to the population's health].
The paper gives an algorithm, a procedure for calculation of aircraft noise, and its spread modeling. The performed investigations have provided guidelines that will become the first Russian official guiding document for assessing a risk from aviation noise to human health.

Comparative Study[The need for human health protection from climate changes].
The occurring climate changes have a considerable impact on human health. The higher frequency of different natural disasters, including flood and typhoons, deteriorates the epidemiological situation. ⋯ The specific features of the impact of climate warming on human health in the northern and southern regions of the country are considered. The need for developing the National Plan of Actions to prevent the population's health from climate changes is warranted.

[The structure of environmental risk factors to the population's health in the Kolsky North].
The paper considers the problem in the comparative assessment of a carcinogenic risk and harm from ionizing irradiation and some chemical ambient air pollutants (formaldehyde, suspended matter) to the population's health in the Kolsky peninsula. The findings suggest that a chemical risk factor has a much greater impact on human health than a radiation risk factor, which should be taken into account while developing a nature-conservation policy in the region.
