Abstract Abandoned metal mines and refineries are considered environmentally vulnerable areas owing to high levels of exposure heavy metals. This study examined the association between renal function indicators. We studied a total 298 participants, which 74 68 resided in low- high-exposure abandoned mine areas, respectively, with 121 refinery area 35 control area. Blood urine samples were collected from participants analyze blood lead, cadmium, creatinine urinary NAG, β2-MG. The estimated...
Soil contamination is associated with a high potential for health issues. This study aimed to investigate the bioaccumulation of heavy metals and its impact among residents near mining area. We performed environmental monitoring by analyzing lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) levels in soil rice samples, as well biomonitoring blood urine samples from 58 living mine. Additionally, concentration trends were investigated 26 participants 2013 study. The Cd As exceeded criteria concern....
We evaluated the level and factors of heavy metal exposure to children residing in Togttsetsii, Khanbogd, Bayandalai soums South Gobi province, Mongolia.A total 118 aged 9-12 years were surveyed, their bodies was investigated. Exposure investigated by measuring concentrations metals such as cadmium, lead, mercury blood; concentration hair; arsenic urine.Blood cadmium had geometric averages 0.16 µg/L from Bayandalai, 0.15 Tsogttsetsii, Khanbogd. Blood lead showed a relatively higher average...
