[Impact of short-term increase in air pollution on mortality of the population]. / Vliianie kratkovremennykh povyshenii zagriazneniia atmosfernogo vozdukha na smertnost' naseleniia.

The authors analyzed whether there is an association of mortality with ambient air pollution analyzed in Yekaterinburg and Nizhni Tagil in 1994 to 1997. There was a positive correlation between general mortality and CO or SO2 concentrations, between cardiovascular mortality and dust, NH3 or phenol, between mortality and CO or NH3. An increase of deaths as percents per 10 micrograms/m3 dust was calculated.

The paper deals with the problems in making the computer monitoring of qualitative, quantitative, structural, and functional indices at all levels of the public health system in the Sverdlovsk Region. The sources of information were defined at all levels of an informational field and informational channels were set up. The monitoring systems are reinforced by the currently available systems and the systems under design. The programme complexes realize the methods of multifactorial analysis, taxonomy, econometry, identification of large systems and they are adjusted to the existing information collection system based on the corporative control network of public health.
