This paper examines the relationship between the environmental pollution level and morbidity in the population of industrial centers of the Southern Baikal. The relationship between the averaged observation data on the chemical composition of snow cover and morbidity in urban population is analyzed. The analysis shows that the largest number of cases of a disease in the population of studied cities is connected with the high concentrations of anthropogenic pollutants in snow cover. It was discovered that the high concentrations of aluminum and fluoride in the atmospheric air increase the number of cases of skeletal system disorders and subcutaneous tissue diseases. High concentrations of cadmium, arsenic, and copper, determined in snow cover, are connected with high cancer rates in the population. The relationship between pollutant emission to the atmosphere from stationary sources and respiratory system diseases is studied.
