Accumulation of minerals depends on a person’s gender
The Laboratory of Environmental Monitoring at the TSU Faculty of Chemistry studied the ash residue of plants, human hair, and animal hair to identify patterns of accumulation of chemical elements, including toxic ones, in biological objects. Knowing these patterns will help scientists understand the role of certain elements in the life of individual organisms and entire biosystems of local, regional, and planetary scale. The data are important for improving the quality of life of people, in particular, for developing recommendations on a balanced diet.
In 2017, scientists at the Laboratory of Environmental Monitoring developed and tested a fundamentally new hair research technology based on the atomic emission spectrometry method with a multi-channel emission spectrum analyzer. A bioactive substrate is burned in a special chamber at 400–450 °С and its ash residue is studied. The new method made it possible to obtain a large amount of information about a living organism, to reveal an increased content of toxic elements and an imbalance of vital elements.
