Abstract

The differences in the fat acid spectrum of expired air condensate in children with recurrent bronchitis who are residents of the radiation contaminated territories and children with analogous diagnosis living in the "clear" region regarding the radionuclide contamination consisted in the increased saturation of lipid complex indices against the decrease in content of polyunsaturated fat acids, antioxidant properties of pulmonary surfactant and activity of adaptation-compensatory processes in lipid bilayer of its membrane structures.
