Abstract

Toxic and  vital elements were assessed in the staff of the  Federal Fire Service of Russia Emercom with diseases of the  digestive system. A group of virtually healthy men without exposure to negative occupational factors was  examined as a control group. To evaluate the  toxicbioelements in the  body, chemical composition of hair samples, blood serum, saliva, urine and  gastric content was  examined. As a result of a comprehensive analysis of the  element status in the staff of the Federal Fire Service with digestive diseases, accumulation of  aluminum, cadmium and  lead  in biological media was  detected along with reduced concentration of vital elements: copper, zinc, selenium.
