The findings indicate that children that the degree of immunodeficiency in persons living in different micro-areas of the city depends on the magnitude of environmental pollution. Among allergic diseases, pollinoses (58.6%) rank first, asthma (19.9%) and allergic rhinitis (15.6%) occupy the second and third places, respectively. At the same time, the incidence of allergic diseases is 21.2-30.3% of all cases in the areas near an industrial area and 9.1-12.1% in those maximally remote from it.
