Abstract

The article proposes a method for accounting for quantitative relationships between the incidence of the child population and the state of the environment in the area of the location and operation of large thermal power plants (using the example of the Lesosibirsk industrial center in the Lower Angara region of the Krasnoyarsk Territory). Among the factors taken into account, the climatic features of the territory and air pollution are considered.The study has been performed the calculation of the dispersion of harmful emissions in the study area, depending on the climatic conditions within it, the location of production facilities and the characteristics of emissions. Scenario calculations to determine the concentrations of harmful substances on the territory of the industrial hub under consideration, taking into account the change in the conditions for cleaning emissions from thermal power plants, made it possible to conclude that it is inexpedient to locatethethermal power plants of a given capacity in the Lower Angara region due to a possible increase in the incidence of diseases of the upper respiratory tract in children.The studies carried out made it possible to determine the options for predicting the incidence of the child population and to propose recommendations for rationalizing environmental protection in a particular region to improve management methods
