The role of geo-ecological factors in development of sarcoidosis morbidity in Tomsk and the Tomsk region

Abstract

The article presents data concerning prevalence of sarmidosis in Tomsk and the Tomsk region for 16 years and impacting of ecological and geochemical factors (elemental composite of incrustation of snow, soils) on disease. The sarmidosis morbidity of individuals without undergoing impact of occupational hazards is reliably higher in areas with increased anthropogenic loading (the Oktiabrskii district of Tomsk, the Tomsk rural district, the North- Eastern sector, city of Seversk, Parabelskii and Kolpashevskii districts, Strejevoii). The positive associations were established between sarmidosis morbidity and content of sodium in incrustation of snow, cerium in soil. The sarmidosis with severe recurrent course correlated positively with lutetium and chrome of soils and negatively with barium in incrustation of snow.

Regional Parameters for Human Health Impact Assessment

“…Polluted soils could be the source that poses the greatest threat to human health (Liu et al 2018; Shen et al 2021) Bare, 2006; Başaran et al, 2012; Brown et al, 2016; Cuajungco and Lees, 1998; Turbinsky and Bortnikova, 2018. Correlation of Cr content in soils of Tomsk region with prevalence of sarcoidosis is proven(Denisova et al 2016). Thus, the accumulation of Cr in soils, its monitoring and mapping has great importance for the human health impact assessment.Using the LCIA model allows us to evaluate and predict the impact.…”
