High levels of industrial development of the region’s areas caused long-term and continuous of habitatobjects pollution. Based on socio-hygienic monitoring data, over 70 per cent of the Sverdlovsk Regionpopulation is exposed to a set of various chemicals, and children constitute the most sensitive risk group.Lead, cadmium and arsenic are priority contaminants of the habitat in industrial cities and towns of theregion. According to the integral estimates, chemical contamination of the habitat by these toxicants formsnon-carcinogenic risks to public health. The established non-carcinogenic health risks are confirmed bysocial and hygienic monitoring indicators of the children chronic morbidity level in organized groupsand indicate a statistically significant excess compared with the average regional indicators. Accordingto the mathematical modeling data, statistically significant interrelations were found between thecontent of lead, cadmium, arsenic in environmental objects and the biomonitoring results.
