[Risk of the incidence of urinary tract diseases in industrial centers of the Maritime Territory].
The study was undertaken to establish whether there is a relationship of the incidence of urinary diseases (UD) in the population of industrial towns in the Primorye Territory to the water basin. This evaluation was based on the principles of calculation and on the analysis of epidemiological and ecological risks. The environment in the Primorye Territory was found to be dangerous to human health and to affect the spread of UD; with varying social and natural conditions, specific features and amounts of discharged pollutants, the ecological risk exceeds the epidemiological one; there is a high association of the incidence of UD in the port towns and industrial centers where the enterprises of coal mining, chemical, and non-ferrous metallurgic industries are located.
