Annotation
Population health in modern megalopolises directly depends on the multifactorial allostatic load, including the quality of atmospheric air. Cities of the Southern Urals, in particular, Chelyabinsk is a megalopolis with an increased industrial load, since cityforming enterprises operating in the field of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, chemical focus are located within the city. This forms negative factors affecting a person, especially during the period of formation and development of the body. The goal is to assess the functional state of the respiratory system of children belonging to the group of those frequently suffering from respiratory diseases and living in an ecologically unfavorable area of the city of Chelyabinsk. Two groups of children (40 people each) were examined — the main group included children permanently residing near an operating industrial enterprise, the controlgroup — living in an area of relative environmental well-being. When assessing the function of external respiration, reliable differences were found in the vital capacity of the lungs,
the volume of forced expiration in the first second, the forced vital capacity of the lungs of exhalation, the Tiffeneau index, the maximum volumetric speed during exhalation at the level of the medium and small bronchi.
