ANALYSIS OF MICROELEMENTOSIS FORMATION FACTORS OF ZHODINO’ PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN

Abstract

The work analyzes the factors influencing the development of excess, deficiency, or imbalance of macro-and microelements in the organism of 7-10-year-old children living in a large industrial city. Based on a questionnaire survey, it was revealed that the development of natural exogenous microelementosis associated with a lack of B, Mo, Zn, Mn, Se in the soil is subject to more than 80 % of respondents, iodine deficiency - 30 %. The risks of acquiring technogenic microelementosis by the population are possible as a result of the increased content of Pb, Cu, Sn, Cr, Co in the soil, Ni, Sn, Zr, Cr, Cu, Co in the production of meadow and agrophytocenoses, Fe and Mn in the water. More than 40 % of children consume tap water without preliminary preparation, 4 % of families periodically use water from wells. The development of natural endogenous microelementosis is possible in 12-58 % cases, iatrogenic microelementosis - in more than 6 % cases.
