Abstract

Hygienic studies conducted to establish and evaluate harmful effects of environmental factors in the affected area of the Solombalsky Pulp and Paper Mill (the Northern District of Arkhangelsk) on health of the Arkhangelsk population have detected specific chemicals that could cause changes in human health. In assessment of the risk of harmful effects due to chronic exposure to chemicals, there have been considered two types of effects: carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic. The main component in determination of carcinogenic risk for the population is chromium (VI). The largest contribution to the index of risk of respiratory diseases in acute exposure was introduced by sodium sulfate (to 47 %), of systemic disorders — power plants’ oil ash (up to 35 %). The resulting indices of risk of chronic inhalation exposure did not exceed the allowable values. According to the results of the epidemiological analysis of the morbidity level among the pediatric population of the Northern District of Arkhangelsk, the risk of diseases of the nervous system was 3.74 times higher, of digestive diseases - 1.31 times higher and the endocrine system - 2.35 times higher than in the group of the children living in relatively safe areas (the urban district Varavino - Factoria).
