In the framework of the solution of tasks of spatial planning and the development of territories of regions of the Russian Federation as well as during the development of general layouts of urban settlements the potential human health risk assessment has been shown to be performed. The use of health risk criteria permits to avoid the underestimation of hazards, to provide safe and favorable living conditions by means of town-planning design; to restrict the harmful impact of anthropogenic and other activities on the environment to the acceptable levels according to the criteria of population health; to use rationally the urban resources to the benefit of living and future generations.
