[Health status of children from industrial cities with different regional geochemical structures]

Application of geochemical methods of urban environmental mapping made it possible to reveal pollution patterns typical for different cities. Based on the related geochemical and hygienic studies, a scale has been designed to evaluate the soil pollution level. Data on the possible changes in health status of the urban population that depend on the geochemical structure of the urban environment are presented. Recommendations on environmental design and quality control systems, and medico-administrative activities have been elaborated.
