[The application of the multidimensional statistical methods in the evaluation of the influence of atmospheric pollution on the population's health].

The search and measurement of causal relationships between exposure to air pollution and health state of the population is based on the system analysis and risk assessment to improve the quality of research. With this purpose there is applied the modern statistical analysis with the use of criteria of independence, principal component analysis and discriminate function analysis. As a result of analysis out of all atmospheric pollutants there were separated four main components: for diseases of the circulatory system main principal component is implied with concentrations of suspended solids, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen fluoride, for the respiratory diseases the main c principal component is closely associated with suspended solids, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, charcoal black. The discriminant function was shown to be used as a measure of the level of air pollution.

[Atmospheric air pollution in an industrial city as the factor of non-carcinogenic risk for health of communities].

The paper deals with the results of the research on risk of exposure of atmospheric air pollution in a large industrial city to health of communities. The results of individual both immediate and chronic risk estimation for selectable city zones are presented. Regression ratios of various substances concentrations and disease incidence are revealed. On their basis the estimation of risk of additional disease incidence is carried out and taxonomic values characterizing the contribution of separate pollutants to risk of health of communities' disorder are obtained.

[The complex evaluation of risk factors at the thermoelectric power stations in Southern Kuzbass]. / O kompleksnoi otsenke faktorov riska na teplovykh élektrostantsiiakh iuga Kuzbassa.

The authors conducted complex evaluation of health risk factors for heat power stations workers--that was a result of long studies specifying measures to optimize work conditions. The calculations covered the factors' biologic doses and critical length of service for various probabilities of occupational diseases.

[The evaluation of risk factors for occupational diseases of miners in coal mines]. / Gigienicheskaia otsenka riska narusheniia zdorov'ia shakhterov ugol'nykh razrezov.

The article deals with hygienic evaluation of work conditions for open cast coal miners in Kouzbass. Based on the evaluation, the authors calculated occupational morbidity risk due to noise, local vibration, dust exposure. An occupational diseases index and hygienic criteria helped to specify general characteristics of occupational risk, measures of prophylaxis and social security for the main occupational groups of open cast coal miners in Kouzbass.

[Hereditary polymorphism features in patients with silicosis associated with chronic bronchitis]. / Osobennosti nasledstvennogo polimorfizma u bol'nykh silikozom s soputstvuiushchim khronicheskim bronkhitom.

Chronic bronchitis frequently accompanies silicosis in metallurgy workers. Association of the two diseases significantly lowers life quality and disables the patients. Prophylactic measures for the diseases are elimination of the etiologic factors and detection of genetic markers for propensity and insusceptibility to silicosis and chronic bronchitis. Phenotypes of Lewis a-b- system, of Hp2-1 haptoglobin and of group-specific component Gc2-2 could be risk factors for chronic bronchitis in silicosis patients. Those of Lewis a-b+ system, of Hp2-2 haptoglobin and group-specific component Gc1-2 are resistant to chronic bronchitis on silicosis background.
