Abstract
Two groups of school children (7-16 years old) were studied. I - children from Lukhuni gorge, where arsenic was mined and processed for many years; II – children living far (>50 km) from the territory of arsenic mining. Pediatric monitoring revealed significant increasing of general morbidity, immunological and hematological investigations were conducted in 43 children (21 from group I and 22 from group II). The level of arsenic in blood and urine was defined. At all points the differences were revealed, that affirmed the impact of ecological situation on the organism and adaptative processes of children from group I. Researches were repeated in 2016. The data is identical.
