title: [Hygienic significance of soil concerning the health status of the population].
abstract: On the basis of epidemiological studies and literature data analysis it is possible to state that excessive contamination of soil by exogenous chemicals administered purposefully (pesticides and mineral fertilizers) and as a result, technologic pollution (lead, mercury, arsenic, molybdenum, etc.) causes high content of those contacting with soil: ambient air, water of water sources, cultivated plants. Human intake of significant amounts of exogenous chemicals, contaminating soil, may lead to changes in health status of the population, appearance of acute and chronic poisoning by exogenous chemicals.
