[Quantitative evaluation of ecologically determined health risk among the population of industrial areas (on the example of the city of Angarsk)].

The authors discuss experience concerning use of risk evaluation methods. Those methods are designed to analyze and evaluate contribution made by air pollution sources into ecologically related risk for population living in territories of ecological hazard (exemplified by Angarsk city). Findings are that use of EPA methods combined with epidemiological risk evaluation technology appears the most effective. This combined approach helps to solve the following problems: 1) evaluation of territory's ecological hazard induced by environmental pollution; 2) estimate of quantitative dependencies of this hazard and health risk from actual composition and source of pollution; 3) disclosure of contribution made by main health risk sources.
