Abstract

A collection composed of 170 kidney stones, 89 dental deposits, and 120 gallstones of patients from the Omsk region is examined using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The analysis of the experimental data demonstrates that kidney stones contain 36 elements, dental deposits involve 14 elements, and gallstones include 13 elements. The elemental composition of saliva and bile samples is determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. The inference is made that the obtained data on the microelemental composition of pathogenic minerals can serve as an indicator of ecological conditions of the region.
