Despite big quantity of studies of various pollutants’ influence on population health, many questions of methodical and methodological character remain disputable and unresolved till now. In practice, it is difficult to determine real contribution of a concrete source to common pollution, to estimate probability of development and a degree of expressiveness of adverse consequences for human health. In this connection on the basis of the risk concept, new ways and methods of their assessment are developed actively by carrying out of complex ecological-hygienic studies. In this article, we have tried to sum up the works of the leading experts on the the risk concept theoretical development, to consider its advantages and disadvantages, to analyze the results of its practical introduction in national studies over the last years
