Abstract

Summary

The purpose of the research was to study microelement composition of potable groundwater in Korostyshiv district of Zhytomyr region in terms of potential threats to human health. The study was conducted as part of general monitoring studies set of groundwater quality in the region in July 2020. Microelement analysis of water samples was performed by use of modern highly sensitive method of mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Comparison of biologically significant concentrations (BSC) of the main groundwater trace elements with the content of microelements determined during the study, allowed to identify features: in the studied waters there is an excess of such elements as Sr and Ba. Cr is present in sufficient quantity. Instead, insufficient elements such as Li, V, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb were detected. The established features of groundwater microelement composition allowed to outline the range of probable negative consequences for public health. It was concluded that there are risks of some microelementosis deseases occurence in investigated area. The results obtained may be useful to justify the need to adjust the diet of local residents through the additional use of vitamin and mineral complexes.
