“…В то же время работающее население подвергается воздействию до 38 канцерогенных факторов, а в большинстве случаев происходит сочетание производственных вредностей с активным курением [2][3][4]. По мнению некоторых авторов, среди рабочих промышленных производств распространённость курения составляет от 37 до 61%, что является серьезной угрозой для здоровья трудоспособного населения России [3][4][5][6].…”

INTRODUCTION: Malignant neoplasms are the cause of significant socio-economic losses of society, and therefore their early diagnosis, as well as the diagnosis of precancerous diseases and the identification of risk factors for their occurrence remain urgent tasks of medicine. AIM: To study the prevalence of precancerous and oncological diseases of the oral mucosa (OM) in workers of Ryazan State Instrument–Making Enterprise (RSIME). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In May–June 2022, 301 employees of RSIME aged from 19 to 74 years were examined for the first time. During the examination, a clinical dental check-up and autofluorescence stomatoscopy were performed. The results of the examination were recorded in a card for assessing the dental status of adults, approved by World Health Organization. RESULTS: After a preventive examination of the workers of RSIME, 30.6% of the examined patients were found to have diseases and pathological changes in the OM, 9.8% was diagnosed with leukoplakia. From the total number of examined patients: 25.9% have a sanitized mouth, 32.9% smoke, and the most of smokers are people from 19 to 44 years old. CONCLUSION: The data obtained confirm the expediency of regular periodic medical examinations using screening diagnostic methods.

“…Occupational environment at enterprises located in the examined cities was analyzed based on data taken from state reports on sanitaryepidemiologic welfare of population in Murmansk region and Krasnoyarsk region; reports on sustainable development issued by "Norilsk Nickel" Group of Companies in 2010-2017; data obtained through studies performed by the North-Western Scientific Center for Hygiene and Public Health; etc. [9][10][11][12][13].…”

The paper dwells on examining mortality among men due to malignant neoplasms (MNs) in Russia and in Norilsk and Monchegorsk, two monotowns located in the Arctic zone with the only industry there being nickel production. Nickel is a well-known carcinogen. Given rather small population numbers in these two towns, the authors calculated mortality due to MNs that was aver- aged over 8 years (2010–2017) for 5-year age groups and standardized mortality ratios (SMR) for employable and post- employable ages as per this nosology in general and specific MNs localizations as well. Mortality was comparatively analyzed in two male populations in the following pairs: Monchegorsk and Russia, Norilsk and Russia; the analysis was based on data on climatic peculiarities in the towns, working conditions at industrial enterprises, ecological situation, and socioeconomic features including an existing situation in public healthcare. Socioeconomic welfare and public healthcare quality were close to average Russian ones in Monchegorsk, but SMR for employable population was higher than on average in the country: due to MNs in general, by 34.7 %; nickel-specific MNs such as MNs of the lip, mouth, and throat, by 2.2 times; MNs in the stomach, by 1.5 times. In Norilsk working conditions were similar to those in Monchegorsk but the environmental conditions were worse; still, mortality among employable population was lower: due to MNs in general, by 15.4 %; MNs of the lip, mouth, and throat, by 14.0 %; due to MNs in the stomach, by 39.3 %. In comparison with Russia as a whole, mortality due to MNs was also lower at employable age but higher by 21.6 % at post-employable one. A decrease in MNs-related mortality and carcinogenic effects becoming apparent at older ages were achieved due to organizing up-to-date oncologic aid in Norilsk including high-tech diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation procedures as well as due to higher living standards in the town.

Introduction. Currently, the main influence of adverse working conditions is manifested not only by the level of occupational morbidity and injuries but by the general state of health of employed persons. Among the most significant non-occupational exposure is tobacco smoking. The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the influence of the factor “harmful working conditions” (Fwc) and the factor “Smoking” (Fsmo) on the prevalence and rate of development of the most frequently diagnosed chronic diseases in industrial workers. Material and methods. Working conditions, medical examination data and smoking status of 2810 Apatite-nepheline and copper-Nickel miners were studied (cross section study). Population risk (PR) and its annual increase (GPR) were studied in six classes of diseases: circulatory system (CS), digestive system (DS), genitourinary system (GUS), respiratory system (RS), musculoskeletal system (MSS), skin and subcutaneous tissue (SST), nervous system (NS). Morbidity factors were characterized by the duration of their exposure: harmful working conditions - work experience not related to age and duration of smoking; non - professional factors - age of employees not related to work experience and smoking; smoking-its duration not related to age and work experience. Results. Population rates among non-smokers and smokers, in groups with the same average age and work experience, did not differ statistically, except for CS, the frequency of which is lower in smokers. It can be assumed that these data refer to “paradoxical cases” in which the Fwc effect is masked by employee turnover. In contrast to extensive indices of PR, GPR indices of the majority of classes of diseases-accurately reveal negative influence of smoking on a state of health of miners. Conclusion. 1. For quantitative comparison of negative effects on the health of workers of Fwc and Fsmo it is necessary to use indices PR of dynamics in certain experience and age groups. 2. The impact of the Fwc on the GPR is more pronounced than Fsmo for MSS, RS, NS. The influence of Fsmo exceeds a Fwc for SST, CS and DS. 3. An annual gain in the risk of chronic diseases (except MSS), not differentiated by their classes, s in smokers is by 1.6 times more than in non-smokers.
