  • Title: [Hygienic assessment of the risk of ambient air pollution to human health in the Ukraine's industrial towns].
    Author: Kireeva IS, Chernichenko IA, Litvichenko ON.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2007; (1):17-21. PubMed ID: 17343045.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of a hygienic analysis of ambient air pollution in 18 industrial cities of the Ukraine in 1990, 1996, and 2003 and the calculations of noncarcinogenic and carcinogenic hazards of ambient air pollutions to human health. According to the calculated complex indices P, the cities were ranked by the magnitude of ambient air pollution (an environmental disaster area; extreme, severe, moderate, weak, and permissible pollution). The non-carcinogenic and (total indices, indices for critical organs and systems) carcinogenic risks were estimated for the populations of the studied cities in relation to the level of atmospheric pollution on their territories. Proposals are given for further development of studies.
