Climatic factors of the Far North can form a risk to human health due to diseases of a number of organs and systems. In the context of the need to adapt the population to these conditions, it is relevant to assess the public health risk. However, not all factors can be assessed due to the lack of the necessary parameters for their assessment. In this regard, it is relevant to identify the hazard (harmfulness) of climate factors that may cause the formation of a risk to public health, for inclusion in further risk assessment.
To identify the hazard, the authors propose to analyze the relevant scientific sources, according to the results of which indicators should be established, according to which it is advisable to evaluate the factors under study, probable health responses to the action of these factors / indicators and the presence of quantitative parameters to assess their influence. The criteria for including the studied climatic factors in the further risk assessment based on the results of hazard identification are the presence of a sufficient set of quantitative parameters for assessing the factor/indicator and the presence of responses to its action in the list of climate-sensitive diseases.
Based on the results of approbation of the proposed approaches, the further assessment of the health risk for the population of the Far North included atmospheric pressure (the amplitude of daily atmospheric pressure drops), as well as the ambient air temperature, air humidity, wind speed (as an index of normal equivalent effective temperature (NEET)). These factors / indicators can form a risk to public health due to diseases of the respiratory system (J00?J99), circulatory system (I00?I99), mental and behavioural disorders (F00-F99), endocrine system (E00?E90) and injuries, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00?T98). The selected factors have mainly a complex effect, which allows us to fully assess their impact on the health of the population.
