Comparative Study[Regional standardization of water chemical substances in case of the Arkhangelsk region].
The paper gives the data characterizing the status of water supply systems, the efficiency of waterworks, and the quality of drinking and Severnaya Dvina River waters. It generalizes the data characterizing the sanitary-and-epidemiological situation and human health in the region. There is evidence for the assumption that regional standardization of chemical compounds in the drinking water of northern regions should be carried out during water preparation, which confirms the conclusions of hygienic and toxic studies previously conducted in individual areas and those given in the references.

Comparative Study[Conceptual model for assessment and management of human risk from transport pollution].
The existing methodology for human health risk assessment allows one to appreciably study cause-and-effect relationships between environmental factors and human health. Risk management is a logic continuation of the assessment of human health risk and it is aimed at substantiating the choice of decisions that are best in a specific situation to eliminate or minimize it, to make follow-up monitoring of exposures and a risk, to evaluate the efficiency of health-improving measures and to correct the latter. Risk management involves technical, technological, organizational, social, legal, economic, normative, political, and other decisions made on the conclusions and estimates obtained when characterizing the risk.
