Abstract
Research on interrelationships between environmental conditions and human health in the Buryat Republic of East Siberia is based on the analysis and comparison of (a) a series of special-purpose thematic maps on areas of settlement, land use, and physical landscapes and (b) of published research and field work on levels of air and water pollution and medical-demographic characteristics (e.g., mortality, fertility, morbidity, age-sex structure). A map that regionalizes the Buryat Republic on the basis of levels of demographic/ecological stress is compiled and reveals a series of complex, sometimes nonlinear, relationships between demographic and social trends and environmental characteristics in rayon-level units of the republic.
