[Characteristics of health status of children-orphans and the effectiveness of health promotion in a preventive sanatorium].

The data are provided on the health status of 850 children-orphans and effectiveness of their health promotion under conditions of sanatorium dispensary. The following results were obtained: the abnormalities in physical development were identified in 22 percent of children, high incidence of ENT diseases (18.8%), visual disturbance (18.8%), deviations in the somatic status (18.7%) and in neuropsychic development (12%). The children of the I group health constituted 7 percent. The experience is summarized of health promoting activities among children from 4 boarding schools. It is indicated that health promotion has a favourable effect on child neuropsychic status, with the rate of acute diseases per year being declined by 2.2 times and the incidence of chronic diseases aggravations--by 1.5. The high efficiency of health promotion under conditions of sanatorium-dispensary permits to recommend this method for wide introduction into the practical performance of curative and preventive institutions.

[Hygienic assessment of physical and psychophysiologic development of children residing in the area of emissions of Orenburg gas-producing plants].

The children and adolescents residing in rural settlements located in the vicinity of sites of industrial extraction and processing of hydrogen sulphide-containing gas were studied. The drinking water and ambient air in these settlements were shown to be polluted. Low indices of the children's mental, physiological, and physical development were revealed.

[Comparative characteristics of environmental factors of rural localities in the area of Totsk nuclear explosion].

Environmental pollution of rural settlements in the vicinity of Totsk nuclear explosion was investigated. The findings show that the blanket of snow, soil and drinking water in the polluted area did not differ from those in the control district. High levels of stable strontium in the soil and drinking water and those of iodine in the water were detected. The concentrations of plutonium-239, 240 and cesium-137 in the soil were higher than the levels of global sediments and the baseline values of cesium-137 for the Orenburg Region.

[Trace element imbalance in children with environmentally induced pathology].

The study examined the balance of trace elements in children with nontoxic goiter and alopecia and attempted to consider these entities in terms of multiple trace element deficiencies. All the children examined children with nontoxic goiter and alopecia were found to have lower concentrations of essential elements (Cu, Zn, Fe) and higher levels of toxic trace elements (Sr, Ni Cr), but more pronounced in children with alopecia. In this connection, it is necessary to further establish a correlation between chronic exposure to environmental trace elements and the levels of trace elements in the biosubstrates (blood, hair) of children living in an industrial town.
