[Health problems in the development of new cities in the Baikal-Amur Railroads region]

The presented findings of research on the sanitary and hygienic status of the BAM-regional cities and towns and assessment of their (and their analogues) developmental perspectives have revealed the interregional difference in climate and nature dictating a differential approach to planning urbanisation of this region's specific areas. Based on the analysis of urban planning and construction and on special observations, measures aimed at environmental protection and population morbidity control have been elaborated and implemented.
