PATHOMORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE RESPIRATORY TRACTS AS A RESULT OF CONSTANT EXPOSURE TO SALT DUST IN THE ARAL SEA REGION

In  recent  years,  the  sharp  change  in  the  environmental  situation in the Aral Sea region, the drying up of the seabed, and the dispersal of salt  dust into the atmosphere have been considered significant factors negatively impacting  public health. The constant entry of salt dust particles into the respiratory tract can  cause inflammatory, dystrophic, and sclerotic changes in the bronchial and pulmonary  tissues. The experimental study of the morphological characteristics of these changes  of  great  importance  in  determining  the  pathogenetic  mechanisms  of  respiratory  system damage. Purpose  of  the  work
