a review of scientific sources has been presented and proved that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has become a global problem in the world today. One of the main reasons for this is that it is diagnosed late and at an almost irreversible stage. Another reason for the seriousness of the OSOK problem is considered to be the ecological situation, which has begun to be recognized as unacceptable. In order to study, evaluate, stop and eliminate these inappropriate cases of OSOK, it is appropriate and a modern scientific priority to organize and perform research based on comprehensive eco-epidemiological and prospective pharmacoscreening monitoring.
