Factors effecting the morbidity in populations living in the vicinity of atomic industry plants.
In order to examine the effects of radiation, chemicals, and social factors on the incidence of different diseases in the population living in the vicinity of atomic industry facilities, the site of the Production Association 'Mayak' has been selected for detailed analyses. Diseases under study were morbidity among newborns including congenital anomalies, diseases of respiratory organs, and cancer. Using a regression model, no statistically significant correlation was found between incidence and radiation exposure.
