The Environmental Circumstances of Cardiovascular Disasters in Saint Petersburg, Summer 2002

“…The investigations of the connections between a living organism and its environment have the long history enough from the times of Hippocrates, who noted about the importance of the nature circumstances for the human health, to nova days. In our times there are a lot of careful studies of the selected environmental factors which can impact the human organism as well as other living objects which are located on the Earth' surface [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Most part of the mentioned authors show very informative results in narrow sectors of the environmental features those can be considered as factors of the nature impact on the living object, it means: geomagnetic impact [3,5,10], high temperature impact [6,7], cosmic rays which have disturbed the high levels of atmosphere so created an ionosphere-atmosphere impact [1,9], atmosphere electromagnetic fi eld impact [2].…”

The mentioned works are shown here only as the examples of active works in the fi eld of environmental-biosphere connections, in fact there are hundreds of very important results in this fi eld.…”
