Summary of the subject: This discipline studies intercommunications "nature-society-man" that is why ecology a man has many directions. They are richly in content constrained inter seandin corporated in the complex of natural, humanities and medical sciences that examine a man, as biopsychosocial creature. Except it the mechanisms of main tenance and proceeding inadaptation possibilities of man are studied in the conditions of technogenic progress.The important task of discipline are studies of processes, that take place in the environment of vital functions of man, idest inthe wild, society,technogenic environment created by a man. Discipline forms knowledge in relation to optimal existence of man in an environment and maintenance of genepool of human population. Therefore determination of geographical, geophysical, climatic, technogenic, factors of influenceon human to the population also is the constituent of discipline. By a key questionthatis all-round examinedthere are a health of man and methods ofhim.
