[Characterization of the sanitary situation in the Kurgan Region].
The aim of this survey was to study the ecological state in the Kurgan Region in the period of 1993 to 2003. The survey showed the west and northwest part of the Kurgan Region to be areas at risk for environment-dependent diseases. The major risk factors included a high pollution of water sources with limited water resources due to the radioactive pollution occurring in the 1940s to the 1950s in some areas of the region; transformation of natural landscapes caused by spring floods and soil erosions among other things.
