[The effect of their life style and ecological factors on the health status of pre-draft-age youth].
Assessing the health indices in 330 adolescents aged 14-17 years who live in different microdistricts of an oil-processing center has demonstrated that adolescents of today are taller than those of the 1980s. Their body weight and chest circumference are greater only in 14-16-year-old adolescents, the lung capacity (LC) is higher only in 14-year-olds. Normal physical development was observed in 47.8-71/9%. ⋯ The adolescents residing in the more polluted microdistricts show less increases in their growth (8.4 vs 10.8 cm), body weight (8.1 vs 14.7 kg, and resting chest circumference (5.1 vs 7.5 cm). Gradual exercise testing has revealed asthenic and hypertensive CVS responses in 20% (13.4% in a less polluted area). By physical development, as high as 41.3% of adolescents are referred to health group II, in the less polluted area, this health group has been established only in 14-year-old adolescents.

[The estimation of the carcinogenic risk in relation to anthropogenic pollution of the atmosphere].
The paper assesses an additional risk of aerogenic exposure in the establishment of a poor epidemiological situation in the context of cancer morbidity, which accounts for 2 cases per 1000 individuals in the most polluted area. The analysis made it possible to reveal the areas showing an increased additional cancer risk by individual nosological entities and to determine the directions of hygienic and epidemiological studies.

[The effect of the instructional profile in secondary schools on the body functional status of the pupils].
The main point of a lyceum is specialized education. The features of its educational process were studied by 6 profiles: medical, humanitarian, physicomathematical, chemobiological, technical, and commercial. The impact of either profile on the functional status of 2627 children was also examined. Study at the chemobiological, technical, and physicomathematical lyceums was shown to exert an unfavourable influence on the children's health.

Comparative Study[The subjective assessment by the population of the radiation risk].
The role of a subjective factor in the population's rating of various risk factors in radionuclide-polluted and radionuclide-free areas was studied. The residents from both areas consider to live in the radioactively polluted areas to be the first among risk factors. The coefficients of radiation risk rating by the population are 1.3-1.8.
