[Hygienic evaluation of the risk of man-made environmental influences on human health].
In Ufa, the largest industrial center of oil-refining industry, petrochemistry, and chemistry, a long-term exposure to chemical compounds has resulted in a high chemical load on the body. A previous exposure to high doses and concentrations of a complex of pollutants caused a reduction in the total resistance of the entire population on the territory of the city. The higher mortality rates, including those due to cancer, undoubtedly reflects both the exposure to delayed effects of a complex of chemical compounds, the total level of which exceeded the hygienic standards, and the combined effects of a whole complex of pollutants over 25-30 years. Therefore, on assessing the risks of technogenic action on the health status of the population of a city with the traditionally petrochemical and chemical profile under the conditions of complex pollution, it is necessary to take into account the priority regional features: the delayed presentation of adverse environmental exposures.
