Ecological passportization of urban population in the Northwest Russia

Abstract

The paper presents important criteria for human health estimation in urbanized industrial areas. On the contrary, environmental and economic conditions are successfully identified on the basis of population’ elemental status. Cause-effect relations between micro and macro element consumption (lack or abundance) and public health in North-West Federal District of the Russian Federation have been established using the open press sources. Data capturing and visualization are made. Spatial digital maps presenting element consumption for non-personalized groups as well as their main disorders are obtained. The environmental situation in urbanized regions should be used to make future modeling possible for the purposes of a green economy. The paper demonstrates there al picture of availability of macro and micro elements, their lack or abundance. Maximum disease cases per 1000 people appear in the Republic of Karelia, and minimum is in the Leningradskaya Oblast. In practice, mercury abundance is a stimulating agent for most disorders of different origin, which primarily, for example, neoplasms and leukemia. Monitoring and correction of chronic toxic metal exposure at the individual and population levels can significantly reduce expenses on educational and medical services, increase labor efficiency.
