title: [Efficiency of iodine and selenium enriched drinking water use to prevent deficiency states in population of the Altai Territory].
abstract: Numerous epidemiological studies suggest that there is an association between the quality of drinking water and human health. The Altai Territory is a biogeochemical province characterized by deficiency of many trace elements, including iodine and selenium. The measures implemented in organized children's collectives to prevent iodine- and selenium-enriched deficiency states, by providing the supply of drinking waters enriched with iodine and selenium, have demonstrated a more marked effect in preventing iodine deficiency states than that of the water corrected only for the iodine composition.
