[Influence of environmental factors on physical development of preschool children]

A relationship between the ambient air pollution with noxious agents and the physical development of pre-school children residing in polluted and relatively "pure" areas was examined. The harmony of the morphofunctional status was found to be significantly lower in the polluted areas than in the "pure" ones, showing an error probability of no greater than p < 0.05 to p < 0.001.
