Phone : (812)- 234-37-47, (812)- 234-09-25 Laboratory of the ecology of man was organized in 2000. Active investigation of the physiological role — at the level of the individual and the population — of risk factors is in progress: climatic-geographical peculiarities of the regions, the polluted surroundings with anthropogenic pollutants of the radiational, chemical and biological nature, cosmic factors.
The whole complex of such manifestations was determined in the scientific literature as a dioxin pathology (disease). The scientific grounds and methodology of diagnosing the dioxin pathology were developed. The results of these works are of the prior significance for fundamental and prophylactic medicine since dioxin and similar compounds are referred to most widespread, Russia included, and dangerous for man ecotoxicants.

A
considerable cycle of researches has been carried on jointly with the
specialists of the Russian-Vietnamese tropical research and technology
Center in the Socialist republic Vietnam on studying long-term medical
consequences in the population exposed to the action of dioxin
containing ecotoxicant or living for a long time on territories polluted
with dioxin. During annual expeditions to Vietnam the state of health of
representative groups of adults and children exposed to dioxin was
studied. A wide spectrum of epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and
medico-genetic investigations was used. The unique scientific findings
have no analogues in the world science. The presence of long-term
medical consequences such as various symptoms of failing health was
established.
