Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive ecological and hygienic assessment of the health status of the population residing in the industrial zones of the Fergana region, Uzbekistan. The Fergana Valley, one of the most densely populated territories in Central Asia, contains a substantial concentration of petroleum refining, chemical manufacturing, metallurgical, and textile enterprises whose combined environmental emissions have raised significant public health concerns over several decades.
