[Regional problems in the provision of hygienic reliability of drinking water consumption].
The paper gives the recent results of researches made at the F. F. Erisman Federal Hygiene Research Center on water-supply hygiene. It presents a functional model of comprehensive assessment of the factors determining the sanitary reliability of drinking water supply, shows the specific features of formation of conditions for water consumption in a number of regions of the Russian Federation and the risk of a water factor to human health, and substantiates the mechanism of water quality control and management at the regional level.

[Management of a risk to human health in technological and hygiene reequipment of industrial enterprises].
By using as an example the Urals aluminum plants UAZ-SUAL and BAZ-SUAL that are under reconstruction at different levels, the authors have developed the basic elements of a risk management methodology, which ensure the creation of living conditions that are safe to the population's health. They give a comprehensive hygienic and economic assessment of the choice of effective development strategy of an enterprise and show the ways and possibility of solving the problems associated with the sanitary-and-epidemiological situation of strain.

[Experience in rehabilitating children living in the poor environmental areas of a large industrial center].
By using a large industrial center as an example, the authors consider the results of environmental and epidemiological studies applying the techniques of assessing a human health risk and the environment, which could establish the priority problems in morbidity, identify risk factors and environmental contributors, and rank urban areas by the sanitary and epidemiological situation and by the risk to the population's health in order to optimally solve the problems in the implementation of rehabilitation programs for the general population, including children.

[Organization of fractional monitoring of ambient air pollution by suspended matter in Russia].
The authors consider the organization of a system for monitoring of ambient air pollution by suspended matter (by fractions of less than 10 microm and less than 2.5 microm) as one of the most urgent tasks in the harmonization of the Russian and western methods for assessing the quality of the environment. The frame plan for organization of ambient air suspended matter monitoring in the countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasia, and Central Asia, proposed by the WHO European Regional Office provides basic guidelines for this system and may be adapted to Russian conditions, as evidenced by the author's experience. The paper summarizes the basic results of the studies that have established the association of respiratory disease in junior schoolchildren with exposure to PM10 and PM2.5.

The paper presents the results of some guidance studies assessing the risk, recently conducted at the A. N. ⋯ It also gives the results of testing scientific developments in the assessment of a multienvironmental risk in the areas exposed to emission from aluminum works (Khakasia) and chemical and petrochemical enterprises (Samara Region) and in the determination of contribution of emission from the Moscow fuel-and-energy complex to risks and damages to human health, caused by ambient air pollution. The urgent issues of further development of modern trends in risk guidance studies are determined.
