[Influence of meteorologic conditions on pollution level of Aralsk territory].

The article deals with data on meteorologic conditions influence on pollution of Aralsk territory. Aralsk climate over recent years appeared to be characterized by positive temperature anomalies (within 1-2 degrees C). Air pollution in Aralsk territory depends on increased air temperature (over 35 degrees C), on lay of land (general slope towards Aral sea) and wind scheme, with repeated south-west (11%), west (8%) and south (6%) winds result in high levels of air pollution with low-disperse particles of dust.

[Managing health state of Aral region population].

The article represents results of first year research within large project "Complex approaches in public health state management in Aral region" (implementation term 2014-2016). Aral region problems is a bright example of ecologic disaster with severe social economic consequences, influencing directly or indirectly all countries. The article covers complex ecologic and social hygienic evaluation of evironmental hazards in ecologically unfavorable zones and public health assessment of Kyzylorda region. Scientific research work in continued. Statistical processing and comparison of data, with discussion, will be conducted in 2015-2016 and presented in further publications.

[Problems of soils pollution with solid industrial waste in Kazakhstan].

The problem of recycling and disposal of solid waste from metallurgical, energy and petrochemical industries is becoming more acute problem for Kazakhstan. Violations of hygiene requirements concerning the placement and operation of landfills increase the area of contaminated soil and can become a threat to environmental safety of the population in industrial centers. The research was aimed to evaluate soil contamination in the cities and towns of Kazakhstan Republic and to mark out health risk areas. Five localities with especially high levels of soil contamination were revealed. Visualization of ecological contamination on individual urban areas gives to ecologists a tool to analyze and solve medical ecology problems. The results of soil contamination mapping can contribute earmarking of funds by local authorities to carry out measures for optimizing the environment.

[Influence of some environmental factors in urban areas on public health (review of literature)].

The authors present results of studies concerning influence of environmental factors in urban areas on public health. Modern men indoors and outdoors are exposed simultaneously to multiple hazards with levels sometimes exceeding physiologic tolerance, and some of these hazards could be assigned to risk factors. Preventive medicine requires new theoretic basis for prophylactic activities grounded on medical ecologic and biologic views explaining cause-effect relationships between mechanisms of human health in connection with environmental hazards.

[Climate and ecologic state of urban areas in Eastern Kazakhstan].

Ust-Kamenogorsk territory was demonstrated to have climate peculiarities depending on local relief and unfavorable wind conditions of ventilation, that could promote formation of highly chemically loaded zones. Suggested evaluation methods provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of climate parameters for individual areas of residence. Marking areas according to residence comfort for population, based on analysis of geographic position of the studied territory, in accordance with repetition of meteorologic processes, could specify major factors influencing climate on urban territories of modem Kazakhstan cities.

[Evaluating occupational conditions of communication operators as professional users of videodisplay terminals].

The article present analysis of data concerning hygienic evaluation of telephone and communication operators in "Kazakhtelekom" corporation of Karaganda, who use vidiodisplay terminals in occupational activities. Complex of occupational hazards revealed--discomfortable microclimate, inadequate illumination, higher levels of noise and electromagnetic rays--determines occupational health risk for videodisplay terminal users. The authors specified and implemented measures on preserving performance and health (change of videodisplay terminal, increase of workplace square, occupational exercises).

[Problems in the individual adaptation of working women].

The mechanisms of development of dysadaptive changes were revealed in factory workers in relation to congenital personality traits and the schemes of individual adaptation strategies were defined. At the same time increased anxiety leading to the accelerated rates of aging preceded impaired adaptive processes. The differences in the female adaptive patterns were determined by both the degree of emotional stability and the baseline energy capacities of the cardiorespiratory system and the involvement of a mental component in adaptation.

[Individuality of professional adaptation in females engaged in industry].

Heavy female manual labor at a coal-cleaning plant was found to be under the influence of a complex of unfavorable factors. Nervous and emotional stress was deteriorated by the presence of conflict situations and dissatisfaction with relationships in the collective body. Three groups of patients differing in the health status and physical fitness were identified depending on the level of emotional stability. The latter determined the individual strategy of adaptation of the female circulatory system, the rate of reserves expenditure, and the level of stress.

[Combined influence of occupational factors on chronical morbidity parameters among female workers of coal-cleaning plants].

The authors presented hygienic characteristics of work conditions for women in coal-cleaning plants, defined priority occupational hazards. Work conditions determined structure and prevalence of somatic chronic diseases among major occupational groups of female workers.
