Risques sanitaires en Arctique russe
The Russian Arctic is the most populated and the most industrial region of the circumpolar region. Although the geographical diversity of the region makes an overall approach difficult, the inhabitants share exposure to extremely harsh natural conditions and experience of a socioeconomic environment...
