Abstract

The dynamics of first-aid calls in Gorno-Altaisk from 2002 to 2003 and its changes in relation to the Chuisk severe earthquake (September 27, 2003) are analyzed. The correlation of the number of diseases with variations in solar and geomagnetic activities, effective temperature, and atmospheric pressure are considered.
