ABSTRACT
The authors present review ot themes covered by Novosibirsk Research Hygiene Institute and the study results obtained over recent years. Evidences are that industrial Siberian centers demonstrate general positive changes in environmental pollution decrease and better health state of children and adolescents, but the situation remains warning about medical and sanitary care for workers engaged into hazardous work conditions, about lower diagnostic coverage of occupational diseases in periodic medical examinations. Facts are that qualified early diagnosis of primary signs of workers' disablement and opportune rehabilitation and preventive treatment enable to stop occupational diseases formation.
