Technosphere safety of West Siberian region and protection of human health in aspects of biogeochemical living conditions and man-made development of region

Abstract

Annotation The development of gas and oil resources, mineral deposits of the northern regions of Russia requires a long stay in the West Siberian region. Therefore, the conditions formed in the place of residence have a direct effect on the medical-demographic, sociohygienic indicators, and the state of health of the population. Water and soil of the Tyumen region are characterized by a significant imbalance of mineral substances. The peculiarity of the soils of the Tyumen region is their relatively high acidity, high content of organic substances and high washability, which ensures a low content of mineral substances in the upper soil layer. The peculiarity of the main water resources is the fluctuation of acidity-mainly from 4.5 to 8.5, which also provides high mobility of chemical compounds. A significant negative contribution to this imbalance is also made by environmental pollution as a result of the active development of northern resources. Chemical imbalances in the environment adversely affect the health status of the population of Western Siberia. In the Tyumen region, there is an excess of the average Russian indicators of the incidence of respiratory organs, digestive organs, musculoskeletal system, and in the south of the region - the circulatory system.
