Abstract
Abstract. Using mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma, concentrations of 30 chemical elements were determined in the hair of 332 liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, residents of different areas of the North West region of the Russian Federation. There was no association between bio elements and the resulting dose; however, significantly higher levels of lead were revealed in the group of persons worked at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1988 compared with 1986 and 1987. Also, the level of lead load is directly proportional to the length of stay in the contaminated area. These data make it possible to give additional instructions on corrective therapy in liquidators Chernobyl APP accident.
