[Biochemical parameters of children residing in an area of high-level technogenic load].
Pollution of the ambient air and drinking water in two comparable regions was investigated. Twenty four metals and traces were found in the children's hair. Higher methemoglobin was found in the blood of the children residing in the higher polluted areas. Decreased concentrations of ascorbic acid were detected in the urine of the same children. It is recommended to develop prophylactic measures to protect children's health.
