The incidence of communicative and tropical diseases is high in the Aral Sea region of Central Asia, effecting 60–300 per 10,000 people. High levels of chlorides in drinking water, the high incidence of heart disease, and increased levels of Ca and Mg leading to biliary and renal calculosis are all problems. Morbidity rates for biliary calculosis have increased ten fold, rates for chronic gastritis four fold, renal diseases eight fold and arthrosis and arthritis by five and seven times. The incidence of acute respiratory diseases in Karakalpakistan varies from 46% to 52%, with the incidence of tuberculosis having doubled in the last ten years so that it is now three times the rate elsewhere in Uzbekistan. Complications in pregnancy affect roughly two thirds of all women who are exposed to pesticides, with increases in pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational anemia, spontaneous abortions and preterm deliveries.
