The present work dwells on testing methodical approaches to optimization of programs for monitoring over ambient air quality. The key issue here was to determine how many control points are required and make up a list of substances for monitoring in a large industrial center with its area exceeding 350 square kilometers and population more than 1 million people. Ambient air quality in the examined city is influenced by more than 150 industrial enterprises operating in metallurgy, civil engineering, chemical indust...

The article focuses on basic socioeconomic and sanitary-epidemiologic parameters as well as parameters that characterize population health in RF regions. The research goal was to search for reasons that could potentially explain short life expectancy in some RF regions via combining similar territories into groups according to selected parameters. The authors applied a specific statistic procedure for data processing, cluster analysis; it allowed distributing RF regions into 4 clusters where analyzed determinants ...

The study focuses on programs for optimization of ambient air quality monitoring in residential areas in a large industrial center. The method for establishing the optimal number and location of sampling points and monitoring programs has been proposed and tested. The list of the chemical compounds to be controlled was determined by using the methodology of the population?s health risk assessment and spatial analysis of exposure levels and formed risk parameters on the basis of the geographic information systems. ...
