THE CHANGE OF BIOMETALS CONTENT (Cu, Mg, Zn) IN BLOOD AND SEMEN AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE FERTILITY OF MEN, WHO WERE CONTAMINATED BY ANTHROPOGENIC AIR POLLUTION
This work is devoted to the research of the influence of the change of biometals content (Cu, Mg, Zn) in blood and seminal plasma and their relationship to the fertility of men, who were contaminated by anthropogenic air pollution. Such methods were used: cytochemical, biochemical and ecohygienic. The content of Zn, Mg, Cu in the blood and sperm of 190 men, 134 of them were metallurgical workers, was researched. We separated them according to the groups with such signs: fertility, contamination by air pollution and smoking.The results of the research are the following: 1) air pollution influences on the content of chelatable metals in plasma of blood and semen and in the spermatozoons; 2) chronic influence of this factor decreases Zn and Mg content in blood and seminal plasma and in the spermatozoons, but this process is accompanied with increase of Cu content in fluids and cells; 3) the decrease of Zn and Mg content in fluids and cells leads to the result of an infertile status of the men who were contaminated by anthropogenic air pollution. In future we will study the methods of correction of this effect.
