Abstract
Monitoring studies of the impact of various types of industrial pollution on ecosystems using the histomorphological method have been carried out. The stages of formation and development of changes in the main body systems in mouse-like rodents living near the rivers of the industrial district of Norilsk are noted. Despite the external well-being, numerous structural, morphological pathologies were found in the organs and tissues of the examined mice living in contaminated areas. Disorders in the organs of hematopoiesis, an imbalance of the organs of the endocrine system, may be the result of a breakdown of stabilizing mechanisms, or accelerated depletion of the reserve capabilities of the studied systems.
