Morbidity of the adult population in resident areas exposed to of aluminum and pulp-and-paper industry enterprises and associated with the chemical risk factors

Sanitary and hygienic evaluation of the environment in the resident area exposed to aluminum and pulp-and-paper industry sites was carried out. It was established that the level of pollution of air, drinking-water and soil by benzapyrene, suspended materials, fluorine compounds, formaldehyde, phenol and aromatic hydrocarbons exceeds health standards in force up to 12 daily average TLV, manganese, aluminum, nickel, and chrome were always present at the sites of the resident area. Chronic complex combined intake of priority pollutant substances forms an unacceptable risk to the population to develop diseases of respiratory system, cardiovascular and nervous system, locomotor apparatus, gastrointestinal tract, blood and blood making organs (THI=1.37-15.75). Level of risk-associated diseases to the population is 1.5 to 2.6 times higher than this value in the territories of sanitary and hygienic well-being. This risk is caused by an elevated concentration of substances under research in human media. It was proved that chronic presence of aluminum, manganese, nickel, phenol, formaldehyde and aromatic hydrocarbons in human environment lowers adaptation mechanisms activity of protection of the cardiovascular, autonomic nervous system and organs of detoxification.
