Studying the environmental problems
of Vorkuta in particular I researched that
The main polluters are Heat and power plant-1 and -2 and Vorkuta mines
The Vorkuta river is the dirtiest in Komi Republic
The most serious problem is the quality of drinking water because of the maintenance of calcium and chlorine in it:

As a result such harmful ecological situation leads to the serious problems with health. Giving out toxic materials into the landfill results terrible headaches and even symptoms of asthma in our town. So I made a survey to find out the view of Vorkuta inhabitants to the following problems:
Which is the most spread disease in Vorkuta
What are the most evident causes of such diseases
What health protective measures are taken for reducing the amount of illnesses
Which is the most effective way to staying healthy
The questionnaire consisted of 6 questions and 5 different answers to be arranged by importance.
I’ve asked 63 people (21 students in the age of 15 to 18, 21 adults in the age of 23 to 47 and 21 medical workers in the age of 25 to 50).
With the help of this survey I also tried to research if there are any differences between the tested people’s answers and what could be the reasons.
