[Health problems of the urbanized North (review)].
Industrial development of northern areas has caused changes in sociosanitary working and living conditions of the population. The indices of public health have become an integral criterion for the environmental situation. A complex approach must be used for ecological and sanitary assessments of the environment. Technogenic stress has lead to the appearance of adverse environmental factors against which the human body has produced no adaptive mechanisms; they may contribute to the development of virtually all diseases. The specific features of the North do not allow the experience accumulated in other regions of the country to be mechanically extended there. To lower the environmental concentration of pollutants will be beneficial to human health.
