Abstract
Industrial toxicants as risk factors for development of dysadaptation syndrome among children population dwelling in unfavorable environmental conditions were under investigation. The response to environmental toxicants in children population was polymodal. The higher concentration of chemicals in environment, the more children with anomalous physiological reaction were found. Children living in polluted areas more often had hypertrophy of tonsils, increased lymphatic nodes and liver size and dismorphic features. Negative influence of toxicants took the form of secondary immune-deficiency state, which was expressed by repeated respiratory infections, etc. Children dwelling in environmentally unfavorable areas showed significant decrease in immunity. Due to the accumulation of heavy metals in humans, effective rehabilitation treatment, which includes pectin-vitamin tablets, natural adaptogenes and antioxidants, have been tested and proposed.
