Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the intensity of anthropogenic impact on the population of residents of a large industrial city, as well as to determine the effect of atmospheric pollution on the frequency and course of obstructive diseases in children. The analysis of 351 medical histories of patients with bronchial obstruction syndrome during acute respiratory viruses infections at the age from 1 month to 5 years, permanently residing in the city and not having chronic bronchopulmonary pathology, were carried out. The environmental situation of a large industrial city was also assessed. It was found that children under the age of 3 years are most exposed to adverse environmental factors with the predominant development of croup in them.
