[Levels of essential elements in pubic hair of women with threatened abortion and in full-term pregnancy].
Concentrations of iron, zinc and copper were determined in public hair of women with threatened abortion and in full-term pregnancy. The aim of the studies was to find differences between the levels of studied elements in public hair of women with threatened abortion and in full-term pregnancy and to test whether parity, place of residence and smoking influence the measured levels. A study population consisted of 101 women aged 18-41 years. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was the method employed to determine the concentrations of the studied elements. The levels of copper were elevated in smokers in full-term pregnancy in comparison to nonsmokers.
