[The health status of junior schoolchildren in an area adjacent to ironworks].
The paper gives the results of monitoring the ambient air pollution by chemicals, the sedimentation of atmospheric pollutants on the snow blanket in the area where the public corporation "Nizhnetagilsky Metallurgicheskiy Kombinat" (Nizhni-Tagil Metallurgic Works), one of the largest ironworks, is located. Morbidity was studied in junior schoolchildren by the results of medical examinations. Morbidity with temporary disability was also examined within 3 years of the study. Data on the urinary levels of benz(a)pyrene are presented in the paper. The findings are indicative of the aerogenic risk to the schoolchildren's health and the necessity of implanting nature conservation measures.
