Abstract
Biological environments of the body serve as a reliable bioindicator reflecting the state of human health and its environment. The aim of the study was to study the accumulation of trace elements in the hair of children from birth to 6 years old, living in areas with different types and degrees of anthropogenic pressure. The content of (Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Mn, Pb, Cd) in the hair of newborns was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry; the dynamics of the content of heavy metals in the hair of children from birth to six years of age was assessed; a comparative analysis of the level of trace elements in the hair of preschool children living in different regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan was carried out. By the age of six, the hair of Ufa children revealed a reduced content of essential elements: Fe, Mn and Zn; toxic metals: Pb and Cd; conditionally essential: Ni and Cr compared with the average physiological level. In the hair of children living in a region with a developed mining industry, on the contrary, there is an accumulation of essential elements: Fe and Mn; conditionally essential element - Cu and Ni and toxic - Pb.
