Abstrakt: The rate of use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers in the Republic of Daghestan was high in the USSR and Russia and was many times greater than the critical burden (3/93 kg/ha) and ranged from 3.5-4.2 kg/ha in the highlands to 17.0-21.7 kg/ha in the plain. Two-factor analysis indicated that out of the mineral fertilizers, pesticides and phosphate fertilizers had the most adverse effect on the incidence of tuberculosis whereas potash fertilizers exerted a less effect. Phosphate fertilizers and copper-containing pesticides were secondary risk factors of death from tuberculosis. The correlation coefficient was 0.53 for phosphate fertilizers, 0.59 upon total exposure to organochlorine compounds, and 0.68 upon total exposure to copper-containing pesticides.
