This project will lead not only to description of real status but also to realization of required interventions and remedial measurements. Analysis of relationship between geological environment (environmental indicators – chemical elements) and health status of residents (health indicators) is the main scope of our work. LIFE FOR KRUPINA, LIFE 12/ENV/SK/094 Why Krupina district? 1. Health status of residents in the Krupina district is one of the most unfavourable. 2. Character of settlement: mainly rural, residents living in family houses with own gardens. 3. Krupina district is characterized by low level of anthropogenic contamination of geological compounds of the environment. 4. Geology of the Krupina district: Neogene volcanics defined in the previous studies as the most unfavourable geological environment for human health. 5. Krupina district is characterized by deficit contents of Ca and Mg in groundwater. 6. Public supply by drinking water is mainly from local pipelines or from Neogene volcanics in the vicinity of the Krupina district, characterized with low water hardness, total dissolved solids, Ca and Mg contents, ... 7. 5 municipalities of the district are without water supply – individual wells or captured springs (including also municipalities with water supply) LIFE FOR KRUPINA, LIFE 12/ENV/SK/094 KRUPINA district: • Health status of residents in the Krupina district is one of the most unfavourable LIFE FOR KRUPINA, LIFE 12/ENV/SK/094 Background and origin of the work Health status of residents in Slovakia expressed through 30- dimensional fuzzy cluster analysis • Slovakia is divided into two parts: Southern part with worse health status and Northern part with better health status of population • Worse health status in Southern part reflects higher level of contamination and unfavourable geological environment • The most favourable health status – districtsTvrdošín, Bardejov, Trenčín, Svidník, ...
