Abstract
An instrumental neutron activation method for determining 17 elements in human whole blood of the inhabitants of Uzbekistan has been developed. 2790 blood samples were analyzed. Statistical processing of the results obtained has been done by computer. Mean concentration values have been calculated and plotted for the whole region. Correlation between the element contents and various parameters (sex, age, residence, ethnic group, working conditions, haemoglobin content, Rh, sampling time) has been found. This should be taken into account when studying various pathologies and the environmental impact on human health.
