[Effect of atmospheric pollution on morbidity among the children of preschool age].

The studies carried out have shown, that long duration of living (not less than 3 years) in the district with a significant degree of ambient air pollution plays a role in the increase of morbidity of children. Actual level of pollution of ambient air in an industrial city corresponded to high and very high degree of pollution (integral index P for the annual period of averaging during the 5 years varied from 7.7 to 32.8), which played a role in the increase of the theoretically possible level of total morbidity of children with the allowable degree of complex atmospheric pollution (P = 3) 2 times fold and caused significant economic damage to the people's economy.

[Antimony accumulation in agricultural food crops].

A study was made of the antimony content in some farm products of plant and animal origin in the zones of wastes of antimony factories and those having nothing to do with antimony processing. The content of antimony was discovered to be elevated in all foods obtained in the zone where antimony factories are located, especially in vegetables with ground fruit. A high antimony content was detected in milk. The content of antimony in a "standard" diet calculated on the basis of maximally allowable concentrations of the metal in foods and in analogous diets containing products of plant and animal origin grown in the Fergana and Chuisk valleys was 0.405, 8.585 and 1.702, respectively. The high proportion of vegetables and fruit in the local diets makes them, apart from milk and dairy products, the main sources of antimony supply to the human body.
