Heavy metals in hair samples: A pilot study of anaemic children in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Heavy metals with their potential haematotoxic effect can contribute to the risks of anaemia in children in Central Asian Republics, where burden and exposure to these metals is still not sufficiently known and reported. Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed in Central Asian countries in hospitals in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan with the aim to investigate the potential contribution of heavy metals to anaemia in children. In each country, 20 children were recruited, all werehospitalised with diagnosed anaemia. A sample of hair was taken from each child to assess the hair concentration of lead, cadmium and mercury. Results: Relatively high levels of hair lead were observed, particularly in Kyrgyzstan. While lead and cadmiumconcentrations did not differ significantly among countries, mercury was lower in Kazakhstan than in Kyrgyzstan (p&lt;0.05) and Uzbekistan (p&lt;0.001). Hair lead and cadmium levels were significantly positively correlated (correlation c
