The study examined the balance of trace elements in children with nontoxic goiter and alopecia and attempted to consider these entities in terms of multiple trace element deficiencies. All the children examined children with nontoxic goiter and alopecia were found to have lower concentrations of essential elements (Cu, Zn, Fe) and higher levels of toxic trace elements (Sr, Ni Cr), but more pronounced in children with alopecia. In this connection, it is necessary to further establish a correlation between chronic exposure to environmental trace elements and the levels of trace elements in the biosubstrates (blood, hair) of children living in an industrial town.
The paper provides a comprehensive hygienic assessment of the levels of the essential and toxic trace elements chosen in terms of regional features in drinking water and foodstuffs of locally manufactured products. Priority pollutants of drinking water and foodstuffs are defined in the eastern, western, and central lands of the Orenburg Region. A significant imbalance of essential trace elements was revealed. Daily oral intake of priority and toxic trace elements were calculated in foodstuffs and drinking water.
