Geographic and Ethnic Variations in Serum Concentrations of Legacy Persistent Organic Pollutants among Men in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Arctic Russia
The overwhelming majority of Arctic biomonitoring studies in humans include either pregnant or non-pregnant women of reproductive age while little attention is paid to toxic compounds concentrations in men. This study contributes with information of the present amounts of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in men living in Arctic Russia. We studied the serum concentrations of 11 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners and 17 organochlorine pes…
Integral Assessment of the Effects of Socio-Economic and Ecological Factors on Mortality
The aim of the study was to assess the factors affecting total mortality of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB). Methods. The study was conducted using the method of regression analysis according to panel data. The official statistical materials of the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan (Table C 51; databases on demography and statistical yearbooks "Social and Economic Situa…
Medical and Ecological Aspects of Associations Between Human Exposure to Trace Concentrations of Stable Barium and Strontium and Functional Disorders of the Body. A Review
A systematic analysis of the published results of studies on the effect of trace elements such as barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) on functional systems of the human body. With sufficient intake of stable Sr isotopes, a decrease in pulse arterial pressure is observed in the morning, associated with a decrease in mortality among patients with ischemic heart disease and arterial hypertension. There is a statistically significant linear relationship b…
Health Risk Modifiers of Exposure to Persistent Pollutants among Indigenous Peoples of Chukotka
The aim of the study was to assess temporal trends in health risks related to most common persistent contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), lead (Pb), as well as mercury (Hg) among indigenous peoples living in coastal areas of Chukotka in Arctic Russia. This is examined in relation to exposure pathways and a range of social and behavioral factors capable of modifying the exposure to th…
Risk-Based Approach to Improve Workplace Health in Non-Ferrous Metallurgy Located in the Arctic Zone of Russian Federation
Objective: To assess the work-related health risk and to determine the attributable fraction due to exposure to the occupational hazards as well as the total burden of related diseases and its temporal trends in non-ferrous metallurgy located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Methods: The results of mandatory medical examinations of 5006 workers engaged in the pyrometallurgic and electrolytic departments of nickel and copper have been…
A Population Study of the Quality of Life of the Habitancy of the Chukotka Autonomous Area
The aim was to study the indicators of quality of life of the adult population of the Chukotka Autonomous Region (ChAO) and to identify characteristics specific to the remote arctic area. Methods: The study included 424 residents of the Chukotka Autonomous Region aged 18 to 77 years old (231 - women and 193 - men). Using the RAND SF-36 questionnaire, health-related quality of life indicators were evaluated. Results: The average indicators of the …
Medico-Demographic Indicators and Formation of Labor Potential in the Russian Arctic (In the Context of Murmansk Region)
Population process in dynamic development ongoing in Murmansk Region (located beyond the Arctic Circle on the territory of the European part of the Russian Federation Arctic zone in the period 2001-2015 has been characterized in the paper. Major features of natural population movement (fertility, mortality) including labor potential have been esteemed. A major loss of labor potential was due to population decline (22,4 %), despite positive increa…
Epidemiological Character of Tick-Borne Viral Encephalitis Extension in the Arkhangelsk Region
The regional characteristics of the epidemic process and the incidence rates of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in the Arkhangelsk region have been examined in the paper. In the period 2005 -2015 the annual TBE incidence rates per 100 thousand population were from 2,0 to 5,4 times higher as compared to the corresponding averages reported for the whole population of the Russian Federation. The most possible causes of the increased incidence rates of…
Operation of Evidence-Based Principles in Assessment of Causal Link Between Health Condition and Environmental Hazardous Substance Exposure
A systematic review of the 22 published data available in both national and international scientific indexing systems, including the results of 2 our own researches showed that the common practice of establishing a causal link between the environmental hazardous substance exposure and public health condition often did not met the modern concepts of its evidence-based criteria. Current methodological, organizational and technical problems inhibiti…
Predictive Assessment of Individual Human Susceptibility to Damaging Cold Exposure
According to a systematic review of published data in both the national and international scientific indexing systems, including the results of our own researches, there have been selected evidence-based criteria and internal genotype-phenotype risk determinants for assessing the individual susceptibility to the acute cold exposure. In accordance with these criteria, the list of cold-related health conditions was defined. This list includes 33 cl…
Socioeconomic and Behavioral Risk Factors of Disabilities Among the Indigenous Population in the Far North
Purpose: to study the socioeconomic and behavioral risk factors of disabilities among indigenous population of Far North and make proposals for their prevention. Methods: The study tested the level of income, employment, education and alcohol consumption on the basis of the survey and analyzed the data of the official statistics. We used Statistica v.12 and IBM SPSS Statistics v.22 for calculating the chi-square, Wilcoxon signed- rank test criter…
Description of Main Health Deterioration Risk Factors for Population Living on Territories of Active Natural Management in the Arctic
In the article, there have been presented literature data and given results of the authors’ own studies related to description of natural-climatic and anthropogenic health deterioration risk factors for population living in the Arctic. There have been singled out two main groups of risk factors specific for the Arctic regions
Main Trends of Change of Persistent Toxic Substances Concentrations in Blood of Arctic Region Indigenous Population
To address concerns arising from possible increased human exposure in the Arctic and possible effects of POPs, all circumpolar countries agreed in 1994 to monitor specific human tissues for contaminants in the Arctic under the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program. Indigenous volunteers in eight circumpolar countries contributed blood samples that were analyzed for 14 PCB congeners and 13 organochlorine pesticides. The blood concentrations of …
