Now the
important role of microcells as catalysts of many biological reactions is
established and pathogenic influence of heavy metals on an organism is
revealed. Heavy metals are priority pollutants of environment of the industrial
cities by a toxicological assessment, impact on health of the population,
considerably advancing such everywhere widespread pollutants as carbon oxides,
nitrogen, sulfur and oil products. Compounds of heavy metals possess high
biochemical activity and tend to bioconcentration. High concentration of heavy
metals, change of microelement structure of environment can lead to emergence
of so-called technogenic biogeochemical provinces and as a result, to violation
protective and adaptive reaction of an organism, emergence of new pathological
states, so-called mikroelementosis.
The exact
quantitative indices of the background content of elements in biological
environments considering also features of microelement structure of environment
of dwelling for the studied region are necessary for an assessment of level of
the contents and an adverse effect of heavy metals on an organism. Methodical
approaches are developed for establishment of background regional levels on
contents of heavy metals in objects of environment in Kazakhstan, Russia, the
near and far abroad [1, 2]. The divergence of domestic and foreign quantitative
criteria of achievement of sanitary and hygienic safety at impact of compounds
of heavy metals on the children's population takes place.
As one of
diagnostic criteria of the raised content of lead began to use hair [3] recently.
It is shown that lead in hair appears in 35 days from the beginning of
influence, coming to them from blood. In all studied samples of hair taken from
back of the children head the lead is found. At the same time its contents at
the children living in ecologically unsuccessful area average size makes
4,94±0,69 ppm. In control of 3,18±0,76 ppm. The American researchers recommend
the level of 3 ppm as admissible size. So, for example, in table 1, the data on
the content of metals in the hair which are available in literature are
provided, at children living in rather pure and in areas with various extent of
technogenic influence of environment.

As
seen from the table concentration of lead and copper varies in a narrow
interval from 2,6 to 5,2 ppm, and from 10,1 to 14,1 ppm respectively. Zinc has
the following limit of variability - 91,7 to 147 ppm.
It is
known that the imbalance of micro and macrocells in environment promotes
development of diseases, syndromes, characteristic both for natural, and for
artificial biogeochemical provinces [4]. Decrease in influence of heavy metals
on health of the population, first of all children, is one of problems of the
developed countries of the world community. Especially close attention is paid
to establishment of relationships of cause and effect of health of children and
habitats, preparation and the organization of social and hygienic monitoring
which component has to be a monitoring of heavy metals in the bioenvironments (hair,
blood, etc.) found the certain place in the cause and effect chain revealed by
a number of domestic and foreign authors.
According
to results of works of the group of experts (WHO), the most informative
biosubstrate at influence of lead is blood. In numerous researches
communication of poisoning with lead in small doses with violations at children
of perception, coordination of the movement, hearing, a dream, delay of
physical development is confirmed. In this connection this element was analyzed
on the quantitative content in whole blood at children of younger school age,
as most sensitive contingent to influences of metals. As physiological
concentration results of inspection of the children living in rather
ecologically safe area were accepted.
The
Russian researchers consider that the average content of lead in blood of
children for the cities with low content of lead in environment is close to 10
mkg/dl. In the city with the high content of lead in environment this level can
be exceeded almost in two and makes 18,9 mkg/dl.
Thus,
on the example of lead fact of accumulation of metals in the bioenvironments (hair
and blood of children) in ecologically unsuccessful areas is established.
