During his whole life man drinks water - about 2 litres in 24 hours for an adult in the countries with moderate climate. Usually, drinking water contains many microelements. Their type and concentration depend mainly on the geochemical characteristic of the earth layers. The pollution of waters by industrial enterprises has, very likely, an effect on the content of microelements. According to literature data, in epidemiological studies information was collected, providing grounds to admit that some microelements have an effect ion atherosclerosis advancement. The results obtained are not convincing enough to judge if a casual relationship exists between the microelements in the drinking water and atherosclerosis advancement. In order to supplement the existing studies, the authors carried out investigations to elucidate the role of some microelement in the progress of experimental atherosclerosis. The results obtained provided grounds to claim that the microelements chromium, zinc, lead, cadmium, vanadium stimulate or restrict the advancement of experimental atherosclerosis.
人一生都要喝水——在气候温和的国家，成年人24小时大约饮用2升水。通常，饮用水含有许多微量元素。它们的种类和浓度主要取决于地层的地球化学特征。工业企业对水的污染很可能会影响微量元素的含量。根据文献资料，在流行病学研究中收集了相关信息，有理由认为某些微量元素会影响动脉粥样硬化的发展。所获得的结果不足以令人信服地判断饮用水中的微量元素与动脉粥样硬化发展之间是否存在因果关系。为了补充现有研究，作者进行了调查，以阐明某些微量元素在实验性动脉粥样硬化进展中的作用。所获得的结果有理由声称，铬、锌、铅、镉、钒等微量元素会刺激或限制实验性动脉粥样硬化的发展。
