[Unidirectionality of elemental state disorders in workers contacting arsenic compounds and in oncologic patients].
The authors determined concentrations of 24 elements in hair of workers contacting arsenic high concentrations in workplace air, of individuals suffering from malignancies variable in localization, and of general population residing in places with environmentally high level of arsenic. Individuals with high hair content of arsenic and certain elemental dysbalance (sharp decrease of elements ratio Si/Hg, Zn/Hg, Se/Hg, P/Hg, Ni/Hg and Nb/Hg, if compared to control group) were assigned to high risk group for malignancies development.
