The morphological structure of the nasal mucosa undergoes significant changes under the influence of long-term environmental, occupational, and biological factors. Dystrophic, hyperplastic, and metaplastic processes in the epithelial layer, glandular apparatus, and vascular network are formed through complex pathophysiological mechanisms. The objective of the study is to identify the direct correlation between morphological disorders and risk factors. The results of clinical-morphological analyses confirmed that epithelial metaplasia, glandular hypertrophy, and thickening of vascular walls develop in proportion to the level of risk. The data obtained will serve to improve diagnostic and preventive strategies.
