Abstract

Urbanization is a global process most widely spread in the second half of the 20th century. In 2009, the urban population was equal to the size of the rural population and its importance is growing now. City conditions are so specific that at present some scientists note the excistance of processes that form a new adaptive type of man at the phenotypic level пїЅ urban type in addition to already existing high-mountainous, arctic, temperate latitudes and tropical types. The main groups of factors that affect the state of human health include: socio-economic, genetic, state of the environment and the state of medical care for the population. At the same time, the leading negative impact on the health of the population (according to various estimates up to 30%) is due to the impact of environmental factors.The atmosphere pollution, soils, surface and groundwater pollution, which serve as a source of drinking and household water, thermal, noise, radiation, electromagnetic and ionizing pollution, in their totality, have both direct and indirect impact on the health of the urban population. Examples of this impact are given in this article.
