Microelement profile of Aral region adult population

Abstract

Nowadays, environmental pollution has become a global, stable and constant hazard, in some regions consistent totality of pollutants determine toxic situation. In recent years, much attention in Kazakhstan is paid to Aral region. Despite multiple studies, problem connected with chemical influence on public health in Kazakhstan, Aral region, remains unsolved. Special place is taken by microelement state in the population. Microelements were studied in serum of the adult population residing in polluted area of Aral region. Findings are microelements dysbalances manifested by increased copper content and decreased zincum, selenium and iodine contents. Serum microelements disorders are objective criteria for various ecologically induced diseases. The study used descriptive, statistic and analytic methods.
