Environmental diseases as an indicator of air pollution

Abstract

The article is devoted to the calculation and spatial analysis of the impact levels on the anthropogenic environment as an indicator of atmospheric air pollution in Krasnoyarsk. The population lives in conditions of exceeding the standards of environmental pollution for 26 substances (from 516 maximum one-time MAC to 132 MAC daily average). The additive effect of chemicals creates a high level of risk in relation to the population in certain areas of the city. The established levels of aerogenic exposure cause about 80.9 thousand additional cases of diseases of the entire population per year (71.0 cases per 1000 people), which is 4.15% of the actual incidence rate. The priority diseases of the entire population associated with the quality of atmospheric air are diseases of the circulatory system (52.8%), the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (18.6%), digestive system (14.1%), genitourinary system (7.7%), and the respiratory system (7.7%). The foreground factors determining the formation of the established level of complementary incidence rate associated with atmospheric air quality are 23 chemical substances. The obtained results (zones and factors) can be applied to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of implemented measures to improve the atmospheric air condition.
