Annotatsiya
Investigation of the relationship between environmental changes and population health constitutes one of the most important parts of human ecology. An integrated study of the ecological and sanitary status of water resources in Uzbekistan, and a description interrelations between rate of their contamination and population health status are presented in this paper. Concentration of manganese, iron, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, chromium, rubidium, selenium, scandium antimony, strontium, lithium, lead, mercury, silver, aluminum, beryllium, molybdenum, nickel, tin and copper were detected by method of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. It was revealed that strontium and lithium contents exceed the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in water sources of Bukhara Region. In the surface water near Akhangaran, Chirchik and Almalyk the content of cadmium, lead and mercury exceed MPC. High content of cadmium and mercury were detected revealed in the samples of drinking water of Tashkent City and Tashkent Region.
