Comparative Study[Biochemical parameters of children residing in an area of high-level technogenic load].
Pollution of the ambient air and drinking water in two comparable regions was investigated. Twenty four metals and traces were found in the children's hair. ⋯ Decreased concentrations of ascorbic acid were detected in the urine of the same children. It is recommended to develop prophylactic measures to protect children's health.

Comparative Study[Health status of children living in rural localities in the area of Totsk nuclear explosion].
The paper presents late outcomes of radiation exposure of 3205 children aged 6-17 years from native persons residing in the areas exposed to radiation 40 years ago. The spread of noncommunicable diseases in the children from the polluted area is 92%. ⋯ These include thyroid hyperplasia, lymphadenopathy, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and other diseases. Thus, the environmental radiological situation in the southern Urals and the Orenburg Region is poor.

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.

Comparative Study[Hygienic assessment of the effects of drinking water on the population's health].
The paper presents the quality of drinking water. The carcinogenic risk of water and the coefficient of its toxic effect were calculated. The findings determine the priority of the pollutants detected in the drinking water, estimate the carcinogenic risk of water to be 1.4 per 10,000 population. It is recommended to revise specifications for the drinking water of dichloromethane, dichloroethylene, dioctyl phthalate and acrylonitrile.
