[Human health risk upon air exposure to chemicals in enclosed spaces and residential areas of an industrial town].

The study determined priority chemicals in the ambient air and air of enclosed spaces of the town's administrative districts, by taking into account the formation of a community health risk. The industrial town's areas were ranked by the hazard of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects caused by the varying intraenvironmental distribution of substances. The distribution of pollutants in the study areas with varying anthropogenic exposures allows one to consider suspended matter, cadmium, nickel, and formaldehyde in the air of residential areas and formaldehyde, phenol, and suspended matter in the air of enclosed spaces as universal markers of exposure for dwelling environmental factors in the identification of toxicants and in the assessment of community health risk within the framework of sociohygienic monitoring and as indicators for the assessment of the immediate and final results of purpose-oriented departmental programs.

[Environmental factors and prevalence of uterine myoma]. / Faktory okruzhaiushchei sredy i rasprostranennost' miomy matki.

The hygienic assessment of the environment of development lands of an industrial town was made by the most priority factors. The working conditions at the enterprise that was one of the main sources of air pollution of the town were also examined. A significant relationship was found between the level of anthropogenic load in different districts and the mortality rates of benign uterine tumors. This relationship was confirmed by the establishment of that between the air concentrations of a number of metals and the female body's biosubstrates.
