“…Buononato et al [ 26 ] and Cabral Pinto et al [ 31 ] note an increase in the average concentrations of Pb in the hair samples of men employed in the metallurgical industry. Hu et al [ 25 ], Pan and Li [ 32 ], and Semenova et al [ 33 ] demonstrate a 10-fold excess of maximum allowable concentrations of Cu in the hair of ore-dressing workers. Men may come into contact with “harmful factors” much more frequently than women, contributing to the accumulation of microelements.…”

If an individual cannot be identified, it is necessary to conduct a forensic medical examination. In this case, all possible group indexes are investigated. In this study, the content of elements in hair was investigated to identify individuals by territory, age, profession, or gender. The level of 14 micro- and macroelements (Cu, Zn, Co, Fe, Cr, Mn, Cd, As, Pb, Ni, P, Ca, K and Mg) was determined in hair samples of men and women from five age categories (21 to >60) using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The samples were analyzed taking into account the health condition, gender, place of residence, occupation, work experience, and age. A correlation between the content of elements in people's hair and their place of residence was observed. The difference in the content of elements in the hair of urban and rural residents was substantial and statistically significant (p<0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences related to age (p<0.0051) and gender (p<0.05). The current research detected significant differences in the content of the chemical elements in the hair of the groups tested, which can be used as personal identification indicators depending on occupation, work experience, and environmental factors.

The study was carried out on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan in areas of natural and natural-technogenic anomalies with an excess content of heavy metals. Purpose of the work: analysis of the reproductive health of women living in the mining geochemical province. Materials and methods. The analysis was carried out on the basis of statistical data of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2000-2020, such as demographic birth and death rates, birth outcomes for women and fetuses, indicators reflecting infant mortality, the frequency of congenital malformations, and the incidence of children in the 1st year life. Results. In all the studied areas, a trend towards a decrease in the birth rate was revealed, and an increase in the death rate is observed. The highest average birth rate was found in Burzyansky (19.8), the lowest - in Zilairsky district (13.1) with the national average of 12.4. During the study period, there was a significant decrease in infant mortality, both in the republic and in the regions of the Trans-Urals. The average rates of infant mortality and the frequency of congenital malformations among newborns in the city of Sibay, as well as the frequency of blood diseases in children of the first year of life in Baimaksky and Khaibullinsky districts, are statistically significantly higher than the national average. Conclusion. For the reproductive health of the population of the geochemical province for the period from 2000 to 2020. characterized by a higher frequency of congenital malformations, infant mortality, blood diseases in children of the 1st year of life compared with the national average.
