Abstract
The chemical composition of the snow cover in the Pechora-Ilych Biosphere Reserve in the winters during 2014–2021 is analyzed based on the data of the network of monitoring stations. It is similar to the one in European Russia, although there is an increase in the inflow of substances with precipitation associated with the west-to-east transport due to the condensation in the Ural foothills. It has been found that there is a difference in the chemical composition of snow in the lowland and foothill parts of the reserve. The peculiarities of atmospheric circulation and the regions from which the air mass are transported largely determine the saturation of precipitation with various chemical components. The computation of the air mass back trajectories has made it possible to identify the regions where the air masses coming to the research area, containing the substances, and potentially forming the chemical composition of precipitation can be formed.

Abstract
The paper proposes an approach to the numerical stochastic modeling of the time series of the wind chill index and equivalent effective temperature at weather stations located in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The approach is based on the use of a specially designed stochastic weather generator. It is shown that the approach allows developing the models of the time series of bioclimatic indices that very accurately reproduce various statistical properties of real processes related, in particular, to their daily variations and specific features of the study area.

Abstract
Different regions and population groups are disproportionately affected by current climate changes. Their effects lead to the disadaptation of physiological reactions and increasing prevalence of some weather-dependent diseases. The objective of the present study is discovering the effects of observed changes in weather and climatic factors over the period 2010–2019 on the age-specific indicators of mortality from circulatory diseases and population life expectancy, as well as model prediction of factorial effects against the background of differentiation of the sanitary-epidemiologic and socioeconomic state of Russian regions. As the initial information, the authors used the official statistical data on the regions of the Russian Federation over the period 2010–2019 for 206 parameters of the habitat and lifestyle, including eight weather and climatic factors (monthly mean air temperatures, total precipitation for January and July, and deviations from normal for these parameters). The causal relationships between the habitat factors and age-specific mortality rates were investigated using 18 artificial neural networks ((R^{2} < 0.75)). The differentiated effects of the analyzed factors on life expectancy were identified, with maximum effects on the older population. The results of the studies should be taken into account in developing regional and federal programs on improving medical and demographic conditions and providing sanitary-epidemiologic, social, and economic wellbeing.

Abstract
The paper examines the relationship of meteorological factors with the development of cardiovascular complications. Statistically significant seasonal fluctuations in the level and variability of blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol, glucose, and body mass have been revealed. The variability of blood pressure is maximal in winter and minimal in summer. It is known that heat and cold waves are associated with an increase in mortality and cardiovascular complications, including hypertensive crises. Their frequency depends on the level of cardiovascular risk of a patient and is maximal in people with coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. The influence of such poorly predictable factors as temperature waves and magnetic storms has been less studied. It seems promising to examine the relationship of the variability of blood pressure and complications of arterial hypertension with meteorological factors using the method for remote blood pressure monitoring, which is currently actively implemented in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Abstract
Climatic and geographic factors characterizing local conditions, as well as the ecological state of the external environment, have a direct effect on human health, morbidity, and life expectancy. The paper considers the basic concepts of medical ecology, a pathogenetic role of environmental atmospheric pollution in the development of environmentally induced and environmentally dependent diseases associated with exposure to meteorological factors. In addition to the major hygienic risk factors affecting the public health (a level of air, water, and soil pollution), the levels of acoustic and electromagnetic background, the type of human nutrition, architectural and planning conditions of human life are of significant importance. Global climate warming causes numerous environmental changes, primarily an increase in surface air temperature, which in turn entails global changes in weather conditions that lead to various weather anomalies. Human health is directly dependent on environmental conditions and a degree of adaptation to them. The paper highlights the issues of diagnosing environmentally induced diseases and measures to counteract their spread. Based on the system diagnosis using physiological indicators of human health and the integration of the adaptation and nosological approaches, a hardware-software complex has been developed and introduced into medical practice. Corrective technologies of regenerative medicine that are used for ecologically dependent pathologies are described. Their application in the process of the complex sanatorium and resort treatment is most effective.

Abstract
The paper deals with studying the influence of air pressure fluctuations on the health of patients. Since August 2008, the Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central Clinical Hospital of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CCH RAS) observed air pressure fluctuations with a simultaneous registration of patients who were urgently hospitalized to the CCH RAS and classified as weather-sensitive. Weather-sensitive patients included patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction, angina, hypertension, extrasystole, stroke, and cerebrovascular disease. The data on 6078 patients over a four-year period (January 1, 2009–November 31, 2012) were processed. The results have shown an increase in the cases of patients’ hospitalization with an enhancement of the external effects of air pressure.

Abstract
Modern climate change and variability of the natural environment have a significant impact on the quality of life and health of the population, as well as on the development of the recreational and touristic industry in resort cities. Based on the long-term observations (1993–2023), the changes in the following climatic characteristics have been analyzed: surface air temperature, total precipitation, and current microbioclimatic parameters of the resort city of Kislovodsk. It has been found for the past 30 years that the average annual temperature in Kislovodsk according to the scale of balneological significance can be identified as favorable, and the average annual minimum and maximum temperatures can be characterized as the most favorable. The statistical parameters of the analyzed characteristics and their extremes are presented. The microbioclimatic potential of the central part of the city is characterized by an increased level of natural air ionization and high purity of the surface atmosphere in the areas that do not experience high anthropogenic load.

Abstract
A review of the studies assessing the impact of climate change on public health is presented. Taking into account climatic features of various regions, priority tasks of the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change are identified. The tasks include: establishing threshold values for high temperatures based on assessing health risks, including mental health; creating a monitoring system for the concentration of allergenic plant pollen and the prevalence of allergic diseases; developing prevention systems for outdoor and indoor workers at extremely high temperatures (optimum work and rest conditions); improving the epidemiological surveillance system for climate-related infectious diseases, in particular, organizing microbiological monitoring of permafrost soils. Special adaptation plans are needed for indigenous peoples of the Arctic region.
