The purpose of this article is to study the impact of polluted atmospheric air on the morbidity and mortality rate of the population. The ecological conditionality of population’s diseases and mortality in the Russian Federation has been revealed. The regions of the Russian Federation were ranked into relatively ecologically “clean” and “polluted” areas, on the basis of which the significant difference in indicators of health and mortality of the population have been defined. In environmentally unfriendly areas, lower health outcomes and higher mortality rates have been noted. The correlation between emissions of solid particles, carbon and sulfur oxides, nitrogen dioxide and risks of cardiovascular system diseases, respiratory organs, congenital anomalies, neoplasms in the Russian Federation and the Baikal region has been calculated. In contrast to the country as a whole, the region has higher correlation coefficients of individual diseases and atmospheric pollution. A high degree of correlation between carbon monoxide emissions and diseases of the respiratory system, blood circulation and congenital anomalies in the Irkutsk region has been revealed. There is a positive correlation between emissions of solid particles and congenital anomalies in Buryatia.
