Abstract
The study was carried out on 27,300 19-year-old Polish conscripts born in 1967. The measurements were taken in 1986, the year of their recruitment. The relationship between the degree of environmental pollution (expressed in the amount of dust and gases emission per 1 km2 in 1985-1987) versus body height and state of health on the day of their conscriptions was examined. No significant relationship between the body height and environmental pollution was found. However, such a dependence was observed between environmental pollution and the state of health since the percentage of the healthiest conscripts (A category) decreased when the pollution in the place of their residence was found to be higher. The results of the analysis indicate also the influence of other factors, mainly socio-economic ones, like social status and standard of living of the families the conscripts come from.
