ELEMENTAL STRUCTURE OF HAIR AS AN INDICATOR OF NATURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SITUATION OF THE TERRITORY FOR THE JUDICIAL-MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE HUMAN

Abstract

One of the features of urbanized territories is the anthropogenic impact on the environment, characterized by an intensive change in the natural geochemical background. Chemical compounds entering the natural environment as a result of man's productive activity are included in the natural cycles of the matter cycle and are capable of accumulating not only in environmental objects, but also in the human body. One of the objective indicators of the ecological and hygienic well-being of the territory is the microelement status of the population, while human hair is of the greatest interest for detecting the state of the exchange of microelements in the body and the toxic effects of certain heavy metals on the body. With the purpose of expanding the identification capabilities during the forensic examination of identification of unknown and skeletal bodies the study was conducted of 1 138 residents of various regions of the Karaganda region (624 women and 514 men aged 25-50 years) and 217 corpses using multi-element hair analysis using the mass method spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma. As a result, the peculiarities of the elemental status of the adult population of the region are revealed, characterizing the region of his permanent residence in the Karaganda region. The obtained data can be used as comparison criteria for solving a number of important identification tasks in forensic medicine or reference values of the content of chemical elements in adult hair of the Karaganda region.
