As was shown (1), analysis of human hair on the population level and mapping of large territories using hair elemental composition are promising approaches for estimation of both the environmental situation and the population health status. In (1,2) the map of Uzbekistan (sampling in 1981) was discussed. Ten years later (1991), samples from the territory in the vicinity of the drying out Aral Sea were taken again. Samples were analyzed for 24 elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis. Comparison of the data and maps drawn for 1981 and 1991 and their comparison with changes of the health status have shown that repeated mapping of territories using data on human hair elemental composition could be used in medical geography, especially for prediction of health status changes in ecologically unfavorable areas.
如(1)所示,在人群层面分析人类头发以及利用头发元素组成绘制大片区域的地图,是评估环境状况和人群健康状况的有前景的方法。在(1,2)中讨论了乌兹别克斯坦地图(1981年采样)。十年后(1991年),再次采集了干涸的咸海附近区域的样本。使用仪器中子活化分析法对样本中的24种元素进行了分析。对1981年和1991年绘制的数据和地图进行比较,并将它们与健康状况变化进行比较,结果表明,利用人类头发元素组成数据对区域进行重复测绘可用于医学地理学,特别是用于预测生态不利地区的健康状况变化。
