The Number of Fall of Separable Parts of Launch Vehicles and the Prevalence of Diseases Among Residents of the Territories of the Altai Territory Adjacent to the Areas of the Fall

Abstract

Part of the territory of the Altai Region is used as fall areas for separating parts of launch vehicles launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The areas of the fall, adjacent territories and the population of adjacent territories are negatively affected as a result of rocket and space activities. The aim of the study is to identify a possible correlation between the prevalence of certain diseases among residents of the Altai Region living in the area of rocket and space activities and the number of falls of separable parts of launch vehicles. For most of the classes of diseases, a direct strong and medium correlation was revealed. The results were obtained based on the results of a survey of residents of the Charyshsky district of the Altai Region in 1999, 2006, 2011 and 2015.
