Abstract:

THE AIM

Of the work was to consider scientific data on the excess content of certain elements in residents of the Republic of Karelia in terms of the possibility of determining the probable territory of residence and pathologies associated with the elemental composition of the body. It has been established that the study of the composition and structure of chemical elements in the «human-habitat» biosystem in relation to a specific area can make it possible to solve a number of interdisciplinary problems. A pronounced specificity of the elemental composition of the body in the population of the Republic of Karelia was revealed in comparison with the parameters of the physiological norm characteristic of residents of central Russia. One of the characteristic features is the excess content of mercury, boron and lead; boron — in persons aged 20—25 and 60+ years, and lead and mercury — only in persons over 60 years of age. Based on an analysis of the level of macro- and microelements in the body of a particular person in comparison with data on the patterns of their distribution in various geochemical areas, including the Republic of Karelia, forensic medical diagnostics of ethno-territorial population groups and individual differentiation of human remains is possible.
