Abstract:
Congenital morphogenetic variants (CMGV) and anthropometric indices as markers of individual development were analyzed in 4-7-year-old children, visiting the kindergarten, in 2 Magnitogorsk districts with varying chemical ambient air pollution. The basic characteristics of CMGV were found to be stable in relation to gender. The study indicated that the average number of CMGV, rare CMGV (at a rate of not greater than 1%) and individual CMGV depended on the degree of chemical ambient air pollution. It was larger in a more polluted area. Lower anthropometric indices (height and body weight) were observed in boys living in a more polluted area.
