title: [Element levels of blood in workers of the Matrosov mine].
abstract: The article deals with results obtained during the study of serum microelements among workers of the mine and gold-extracting factory in Central Kolyma. Atomic emission spectroscopy evaluated over 20 elements, the maximal information was obtained on Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Se, Mn, Pb, Hg. The examinees were diagnosed as having lower levels of Ca, Mg, Se, Zn and increased ones of Cu, Pb, Hg, Cd, so iron and zinc deficit could occur. The studies bring to a conclusion that the workers suffer from complex polymicroelementosis, the more intensive the longer life in the North. Additional examination is required for the individuals having increased serum Hg, Cd and Pb levels.
