[Blood levels of trace elements in urban children with diffuse non-toxic goiter].
The blood concentrations of cadmium, cobalt, lead, manganese, copper, and zinc were studied in Vladivostok schoolchildren with diffuse non-toxic goiter followed up by an endocrinologist for 2-5years. It was established that the content of cadmium, cobalt, lead, and manganese significantly exceeded the relevant values in healthy adolescents and that of copper was lower. Zinc levels did not differ from those in healthy individuals.
