Abstract
Close correlation between the concentrations of elements in human blood, tissues of small mammals (liver, bone tissues), wild animals (hair, bone tissues) and the concentrations of elements in atmospheric aerosol and nutrition components was established at the regional level. Substantial role of atmospheric aerosol in the global cycles of chemical elements is assumed. The elemental composition of blood of tundra Nines people, Chukchi, Eskimo people and Russians living in Novosibirsk was used in the investigation.
