“…In females, by the age of 30-35, the level of total mercury in the hair will be at the level of 0.58 mg/kg, at which the risk of impaired prenatal development increases (Lee et al, 2017). In addition, when the level of mercury in the hair is above 0.54 mg/kg, it increases the risk of metabolic syndrome development (Ivanova et al, 2021). Considering the fact that the increased content of mercury in the human body is a risk factor for public health, a program of measures is needed to reduce the impact of heavy metal on the quality of life.…”

“…Despite the presence of large enterprises in the metallurgical and chemical industries, the established concentrations of total mercury in the hair of residents of Cherepovets city aged 17 to 21 were lower than the concentration of metal in the hair of their peers living in both the western and eastern districts of the Vologda Oblast (Aleksina and . The results of a study of women of reproductive age living in the city of Cherepovets showed that an increased content of mercury in the body (above 0.54 mg/kg) was one of the factors in uencing the development of metabolic syndrome (Ivanova et al, 2021).…”

The content of total mercury in the hair of adolescent residents of the industrial center of North-West Russia varied from less than 0.002 to 0.83 mg/kg. The content of total mercury in the hair of males is 1.5-2 times lower than that of females. The relationship between the body mass index of females and the content of total mercury in the hair (for the entire observation period rs=0.28–0.48, at p < 0.05) was observed. It was found that the concentration of metal in the hair of the study participants depended on the frequency of fish consumption. Over a three-year observation period, an increase in the indicator values of the concentration of total mercury in the hair was recorded among 70% of the study participants, on average by 0.03 mg/kg per year. Indicators of the content of total mercury in the hair of females and males in the city of Cherepovets did not exceed the standard values established in Russia and in the world. At the same time, the recorded values of the annual increase in the content of total mercury in the hair, allow us to predict the potentially hazardous levels of metal in the body of the study participants when they reach adulthood.

“…However, although the nervous system is the main repository for Hg exposure, transient and residual systemic distribution of Hg can cause symptoms in many organ systems. Hg accumulation in the heart is believed to contribute to the development of cardiomyopathy (Ivanova et al, 2021). The level of Hg in the heart tissue of people who died from idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy was 22,000 times higher than in human heart of people who died from other forms of heart disease (Nyland et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. We studied the total mercury concentration (T-Hg) in the hair of people living in Chelyabinsk. Hair analysis was combined with a survey evaluating relationships and variations among subgroups and potential metal exposure predictors. We determined the influence of factors such as age, gender, location of residence, smoking, hair color, T-Hg contents in soil, road dust, household dust as well as fish and potato consumption in the diet. The mean value of T-Hg in the hair for the subjects under study (0.402 g/g) was lower than the value referred from the World Health Organization (WHO) (1 2 g/g). There was no linear correlation between mercury hair levels and age or gender. We found a significant positive correlation between T-Hg concentration in hair and health ardiometabolic risk as well as the Hg content in road dust and the Hg of potato consumption in the diet. The data from this study can be used to develop prevention strategies for the health of residents.

Abstract. Large industrial enterprises are located on the territory of the city of Cherepovets, which are potential sources of mercury entering the environment. The study involved residents of the Vologda Oblast without cardiovascular diseases (men n=82; women n=266) and with cardiovascular diseases (men n=192; women n=309). The average mercury content in the hair of the study participants was 0.572 0.686 mg/kg. In healthy men and men with cardiovascular diseases, the indicators of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase are statistically significantly (on average 1.2-1.5 times) higher than in women. A significant correlation was established between the concentration of ALT, AST from the amount of mercury in the hair of the study participants: in men ALT - RS=0.168, p 0.008 and AST- RS=0.183, p 0.004, respectively; in women ALT: RS=0.121, p 0.007, AST is not statistically significant RS=0.035 p 0.442. The increase in mercury affects the human body with cardiovascular diseases, increasing the enzymatic activity of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase. The causes of gender differences in CVD are: different reproductive function; different prevalence of autonomous regulation of vascular functions and stress; different features of the development and prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis.
