The area of our study is Moscow-city, one of the most polluted megacity in the world. Toxic substances penetrate into a human body through respiratory way, water, soil and plants.

The project shows water polluting factors: chloroform (as a result of chlorination), sanitary-chemical water parameters; air and city soils polluting factors: NO+NO2; NH4, suspended solids, elements such as lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, mercury; mineral oil and so on. All these factors were compared with the data on illnesses generalized for the city districts: children congenital anomalies, illnesses of digestive and blood circulation system, endocrine and urinogenital system, and respiratory organs. The choice of illnesses for our analysis was limited by the available medical data. The spatial distribution of the specified factors within Moscow area was analyzed by GIS technology, and general dependencies were found and confirmed by the known medical research. Data of convergence estimation method has been developed. Additionally some other important coincidences have been revealed and therefore require their medical investigation. In terms of minimization of adverse factors influencing human health, there should be applied up-to-date methods of drinking water quality improvement. Finally, it needs to be noticed that given analysis has confirmed the thesis that pollution in a greater degree affects the health of children and teenagers than adults.
