Comparative Study[The evaluation of the effect of chemical and radiation factors on the health of the population in an industrial city].
Kamensk-Ural'skiy, Sverdlovsk Province, is one of the Russian industrial cities and towns exposed to a combination of radiation and chemical pollutions. This is a large industrial center of the mid-Urals, where enterprises of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, power engineering. ⋯ Comparing its matched areas by using routine analytical methods has defined the contribution of radiation to increased morbidity in different age groups, which is caused by a combination of chemical and radiation pollutions of the environment. The incidence of concomitant diseases may be an important additional indicator of the impact of environmental pollution on human health.

[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.

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.
