THE INFLUENCE OF ANTHROPOGENIC FACTORS OF THE ASTRAKHAN REGION ON THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF THE NASAL CAVITY OF A HUMAN
At the present time, human health is exposed to strong influence of various negative influences of anthropogenic character. The fundamental importance have of the study of the respiratory system in interaction with the environment.The cavity of the human nose is the "first line of defense" of the respiratory system and are particularly sensitive to the impacts of anthropogenic factors. Astrakhan region is one of regions where the effects of industrial toxicants on the respiratory system quite intensively. Predominant in the respiratory system is the influence of the hydrogen sulfide compounds of the Astrakhan gas plant. The article presents a review and analysis of scientific data for the study of morphofunctional state of the nasal cavity of a person in conditions of anthropogenic impact factors of the Astrakhan region.The emphasis of the research concerns the issues of violations of basic functions of the nasal cavity and structural changes of the mucous membrane when exposed to hydrogen sulfide production compounds.
