Abstract
Taking into account the stated eastern priorities in social and economic development of the Russian Federation, spatial relationships between hydroclimatic characteristics and health indicators of the population of Asian Russia were investigated by creating multi-scale maps included in an integrated atlas and their analysis. The underlying characteristic is climate discomfort as a factor determining the zonation of the impact of climate on population health. As the most dangerous consequences of air pollution, oncological diseases have been identified, maps for cities of the Baikal region have been constructed. The role for health preservation and self-purification of water through indicators of ecological water potential was studied, using the example of the Angaro-Baikal basin. Research on climate change has been identified.
