Abstract

Currently, the oil refining industry, as an integral part of the oil industry, makes a significant contribution to the economy of the Russian Federation and includes a significant contingent of workers exposed to a complex of harmful chemicals present in the air of the working area during the oil refining process. In this regard, the study of the prevalence of bronchopulmonary pathology in oil refinery workers is quite urgent task. The database of eLIBRARY.RU, Google Academy, CyberLeninka, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed were used for the preparation of the literature review. It has been established that in the available modern scientific literature of the data devoted to the influence of oil hydrocarbons and oil products polluting the air of the working zone on functional disorders of the respiratory system in oil refinery workers could not be found. The most relevant studies on the effects of the chemical factor on the respiratory system in refinery workers have a significant statute of limitations and do not reflect current working conditions. The few data on the prevalence of respiratory diseases in workers in modern refineries are characterized by ambiguous results obtained by various authors. Thus, the issues of the influence of working conditions on the development of bronchopulmonary pathology among workers of modern oil refineries are extremely insufficiently covered. The results of the review indicate the relevance of both an in-depth study of the causes of the pathogenetic mechanism of bronchopulmonary diseases and prenosological diagnosis of respiratory pathology. So far, the main stage in the development of sound medical and preventive measures contributes to the preservation of health and prolongation of occupational longevity in workers employed in the oil refining industry.
