[The public health state study as part of the risk assessment methodology].
Comparative analysis of information value of the official data sources on disease incidence and public state of health with regards to the risk assessment methodology has been made in the article. Each out of the three information sources studied here must be taken into consideration when performing risk assessment projects, for the data obtained give necessary supplementary knowledge on the human health which, in its turn, allows to determine the enterprises (production units) substantially contributing to environmental contamination in the area, and thus to develop and take appropriate management decisions towards them.

Comparative Study[Testing of the system of biochemical and immunological indices of the state of population health in the survey of residents of Moscow, exposed to ambient air pollution].
New biomarkers of effect of some controlled ambient air pollutants (formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and TSP) were found in two surveys of Moscow residents (apparently healthy and outpatients with allergic diseases) with a help of screening system of biochemical and immunological parameters. Possible mechanisms of the effects, including interference of atmospheric carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide with corresponding endogenous second messengers, are discussed.
