Studying effects of permanent air pollution on the olfactory function the author has found that the threshold of smell perception is increased due to damages of the olfactory mucosa of the receptor organs. Changes in the olfactory function start in the early youth so that the examinees are not aware of their deficient olfactory function. The author advocates undertaking of more active measures for general protection of the human environment.
