Abstract
The article reviews scientific publications on the human respiratory system’s adaptation to low temperature factors in the northern regions of Russia. It is shown that cold, as a pulmonotropic factor, has a significant impact on the human respiratory system, leading to modifications in the respiratory system intended to reduce the trauma caused by prolonged exposure to low temperatures. The present findings show that there is a decrease in maximum voluntary ventilation and forced vital capacity of the lungs with a concomitant increase in residual volume and functional residual capacity of the lungs throughout the process of human respiratory system adapting to the North environment.
