Comparative Study[Human health risk assessment of environmental pollution at the municipal level].
The established tense environmental situation in Krasnouralsk, Sverdlovsk Region, presents a serious threat to human health. Development of a medium-term municipal environmental program for a Krasnouralsk urban district provides solutions of environmental problems. The human health status and carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks from exposure to chemical substances polluting ambient air, drinking water, and soil have been assessed within the framework of the program. The findings have served as a basis for elaborating technological and sanitary-and-hygienic measures of the environmental program to assure human environmental safety.

Comparative Study[Hygienic rationale for the maximum allowable concentration of agidol 10 in the ambient air of inhabited localities].
The subjects of studies were laboratory animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, albino rats, albino mice) and a chemical substance (agidol 10, a alkyl phenol derivative). The purpose of the study was to provide a rationale for the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of agidol 10 in the atmosphere of inhabited localities. ⋯ The recommended average daily MAC of agidol 10 was 1.0 mg/mn; the maximum single dose was 2.0 mg/m3. The limiting index was its resorptive activity.

Comparative Study[The levels of stable organic pollutants in the breast milk of women living in the Irkutsk region].
The concentrations of stable organic chlorine pollutants (SOCP) in the breast milk of women living in Irkutsk, Baikalsk, and the settlement of Kachug are lower than those in the increased SOCP-burdened areas of the Irkutsk Region (the town of Usolye-Sibirskoye, settlements on the shore of the Baikal Lake) and comparable with those in Russia and industrially developed countries of the world. The content of SOPC is much lower than those in the developing countries where this pesticide continues to be applied. ⋯ The absence of changes in the content of PCB in Kachug and Baikalsk may be associated with no decrease in environmental pollution in the Irkutsk Region. Altered breast concentrations of SOCPs caused a reduction in their intake in babies.

Comparative Study[The sanitary and hygienic state of solid garbage burial grounds in the stages of a life cycle].
The purpose of the study was to assess the sanitary-and-hygienic state of solid garbage (SG) burial grounds in the Perm Territory in different stage of a life cycle. This paper presents the results of the study of deposited waste, forming dump soil, and SG ground emissions by general sanitary and sanitary-microbiological parameters and their effect on environmental objects. The performed studies of the sanitary-and-hygienic situation on some grounds of the Perm Territory suggest that there is a need for setting up a system for sanitary-and-monitoring of SG ground and for elaborating engineering, organizational, and prophylactic measures to assure the sanitary-and-hygienic safety of objects and to control the quality and quantity of waste to be buried and the currents of emissions (ground body degassing, filtrating sewage drainage and purification).
