RESUMO
There has been recently a trend in declining mortality rates in all population groups. Higher birth rates and lower mortality have been responsible for a reduction in natural population loss in Moscow. At the same time, 14 of the 123 Moscow municipal districts show a positive natural population growth largely due to higher birth rates. Better social and economic living conditions, the effective activities of health care bodies and sanitary and epidemiological well-being services of the city have caused recent positive changes in the demographic situation.

The ambient atmosphere of Moscow is appraised as unbeneficial to the health of the population, that of children and adolescents in particular. Motor transport is a powerful source of the ambient air pollution of Moscow. The average annual level of atmospheric pollution in 2008 is considered to be moderate. Scientific-and-practical studies using the risk assessment methodology also suggest that the ambient air in Moscow is the leading habitat posing a carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk to Muscovites' health.
