Abstract:Background: Thermal power facilities using coal are in the first place in terms of emissions. From the burning of coal, about 2,100 tons/year of copper (Cu) falls to the Earth's surface annually. Prolonged inhalation intake of Cu into the human body as part of solid particles of atmospheric air from coal-fired boilers leads to accumulation of trace elements in tissues, the development of hyperelementosis.
Aim: to identify the level of Cu accumulation in the hair of the population of the administrative ce… Show more
