Abstract

Aim. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the content of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe) in the hair of athletes aged 17–50 years in Gorno-Altaisk. Materials and methods. The content of trace elements (Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, Mn, Fe) in the hair of athletes was assessed with atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results. In 14 % of athletes, hair concentration of Cd exceeds normal values. The concentration of Pb (in 60 % of athletes), Cu (96 %), Cr (56 %), Mn (62 %), Fe (62 %) corresponds to acceptable values. The Pb concentration is directly proportional to the age of the person. Hair microelement content does not depend on the gender and area where training sessions are held. Conclusion. Regardless of region, age and gender, the majority of athletes had Cd and Cu concentrations that did not exceed the acceptable level. More than a third of athletes had Pb, Cr, Mn, and Fe concentrations above the upper limit of normal range.
