Ollution of atmospheric air in an industrial city saturated with toxic substances leads to the gain in diseases of the respiratory system. With the aim to identify early pathologies, adolescents living in urbanized areas were examined. There were revealed desquamation, decay of epithelial cells of the nasal cavity and enhanced synthesis of the surfactant according to the condensate of exhaled air, which indicates to a non-specific defeat of the respiratory system by toxic agents. These studies can be used for the development of preventive measures and early detection of diseases caused by unfavorable environmental conditions.
