Periodic dependences in the distribution of chemical elements in the human hair ash residue

Abstract

150 years ago D. I. Mendeleev revealed the Periodic law to the world and since that time periodic dependencies have been increasingly used in various fields of basic and applied sciences. For the first time we consider the regularities of periodic dependences of the concentration of chemical elements in the ash residue of human hair on the number of the element. Such dependencies for various regions of Russia reveal strictly individual character. It is shown that distributions of the chemical elements for men and women also differ, as well as the distributions determined for the same groups in inhabitants of different regions of residence and depend to a significant extent on the genetic and physiological characteristics of human organism, variability of environmental conditions, earlier diseases and other impacts. This means that population of different urban regions (e.g., Siberian region) is characterized by a strictly individual distribution of biogenic elements. A hypothesis has been put forward that extrema observed on the studied dependences can be a kind of code for a given locality, reflecting correlation with various factors of genetic and ecological nature.
