ABSTRACT:
The article is devoted to analysis of
the atmosphere and soil pollution’s monitoring and health status of the
Krasnodar region city’s population (the South of the Russian Federation).
Studies were conducted during more than 20 years, and there was repeated testing of the soil in various regions and cities. The
results indicate an increase of the atmosphere pollution and of the
concentrations of chemical elements in soil and deterioration of health of the
population as a consequence. Especially the children and adult population with diseases of the respiratory tract
strongly increased. The population medical records studies are based
on the health research
and the atmosphere and the soil chemical analysis results in the pollution
monitoring. Ni, Cr, Cu and Pb concentrations in the region soils increased
during the observation period. The highest degree of air pollution in southern
Russia was marked in Novorossiysk.
