Problems of the health status of children and atmospheric air of Gorno-Altaisk under the conditions of increasing transport load

Year: 2019

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The article contains a theoretical study of the problem of the children’ health status and atmospheric air under conditions of increasing traffic load. The children’s body is highly sensitive to the effects of unfavorable environmental factors, susceptible to the pathogenic effects of even subthreshold concentrations of harmful substances, which makes it possible to consider it as a kind of indicator of the state of the environment. The deterioration of the environmental state of the air of Gorno-Altaysk is associated with an increasing traffic load, solid fuel stationary sources, and transboundary pollution coming from the neighboring regions, as well as the location of the city in a mountain valley with poor natural weathering of the air basin. A comprehensive analysis of the health status of the child population in the region (depending on the degree of air pollution) is also conducted.
