Comparative Study[Organic pollution of the Ural river in the area of open water supply of Orenburg].
The water from the Ural river contains about 230 organic chemical substances, including especially hazardous pollutants. The levels of some chemicals are 2 to 13 times higher than their maximum allowable concentrations. It is necessary to use reliable methods for water treatment at waterworks to lower the levels of drinking water pollutants.

Comparative Study[Comparative characteristics of environmental factors of rural localities in the area of Totsk nuclear explosion].
Environmental pollution of rural settlements in the vicinity of Totsk nuclear explosion was investigated. The findings show that the blanket of snow, soil and drinking water in the polluted area did not differ from those in the control district. High levels of stable strontium in the soil and drinking water and those of iodine in the water were detected. The concentrations of plutonium-239, 240 and cesium-137 in the soil were higher than the levels of global sediments and the baseline values of cesium-137 for the Orenburg Region.
