The application of the method of spatial analysis in the system of evidence of harm to health whenexposed to the waste of past economic activities of the DWMC on the health of the population made itpossible to identify the presence of reliable dependencies both for the adult (p < 0.04) and for the children(p < 0.02) of the population of Zakamensk , between the prevalence of the primary incidence of thepopulation in terms of turnover and the remoteness of the population's places of residence to the wastestorage sites. The incidence of the population of Zakamensk, living at a distance of 50 to 500 m from thestorage sites of DWMC waste, was 1.07–2.58 times higher than in the zone remote from the tailingdams at a distance of more than 500 m, according to the whole list of disease classes. As a result of theresearch, it was concluded that the methods of spatial analysis can be used to form the evidence base forharm to health.
