As one of the main criteria of the environmental quality, recognized is the state of population health. The analysis showed that in the structure of the general disease occurrence among Ukraine's population the diseases, which are consequences of technological pollution of the environment gained the occurence.

Results are given of studying bronchial asthma disease in children in Ukraine's regions with the different levels of atmospheric pollution and calculations of a relative risk of bronchial asthma occurrence in these regions. It is proposed to pay attention to this issue while realizing the National Plan of Actions on Environmental Hygiene in Ukraine, and also to isolate a group of risk among the children with inherited inclination to the development of the disease
