Public human health is closely interrelated with the ecological state of the environment, which is especially important for urban areas. The article presents research data on the influence of a number of exogenous factors on population of the town of Vladikavkaz, which is an urbanized mountainous area. Morbidity rates of the population in correlation with the levels of noise, gamma radiation, electric and magnetic fields were studied. The analysis of influence of negative exogenous factors (that exceed permissible levels) has been carried out in areas of the town. The results of implementation of the method of medical-ecological-geophysical zoning are given. The groups of diseases, presumably associated with certain types of external influence, are identified, which together requires the development of targeted measures in order to improve public health and reduce the harmful effects of exogenous factors often of technogenic and anthropogenic nature.
