Abstract

The aim of this study was to define the factors that have a negative impact on public health. Knowledge in this field is an additional tool for the environmental quality management in the context of preserving and strengthening of the child population health. The geoformation material of the children’s morbidity has an important information about the health of the population and the environmental impact on it.

Industrial enterprises influence air pollution: Sevgorvodokanal DKP Balaklava State Mining Administration, Sevtets DP, Sevteploenergo KP, Yugtorsan LLC. Pollutants such as inorganic dust, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, which increase the incidence of respiratory diseases, increase mortality from diseases of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system, are present in the air basin.

The results of the study are based on statistical data collected by the author in the Territorial Bodies of the Federal State Statistics Service for cities and districts, regional health organizations (Sevastopol Health Department), and city polyclinics in the study area. The dataset included information on the demographic situation, as well as medical statistics (morbidity and mortality according to the international classification of diseases).

Analysis of the medical and environmental status of the city of Sevastopol was carried out taking into account the criteria of the environmentally dependent diseases of the child population (age group from 0 to 17 years). Assessment of the incidence of children in the city of Sevastopol, showed that respiratory diseases occupy a leading place in the structure of the general incidence rate, digestive apparatus diseases take the 2nd place and the nervous system disease takes the third one.
