Abstract
3760 residents of St. Petersburg were examined in out-patient settings to assess the content of toxic chemical elements in hair samples. The work was carried out in the research laboratory for elemental analysis at the Federal State Institute of Public Health the Nikiforov Russian Center of Emergency and Radiation Medicine, EMERCOM of Russia. Toxic elements (beryllium, aluminum, arsenic, strontium, silver, cadmium, cesium, barium, mercury, tallium, lead, lithium, nickel, and tin) were assessed in hair biosamples using quadrupole mass spectrometer with argon plasma (X-SERIES II ICP-MS). Screening identified risks of excess content of such metals as silver, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, nickel and lead (hyperelementoses) in inhabitants of St. Petersburg.
