Abstract
Widespread use of fungicides in various spheres of human life leads to negative consequences for both humans and the environment. The article presents the results of a study of the acute effect of systemic fungicides of the chemical class triazoles on the content of macro- and microelements in kidney and liver rat tissues. The content of chemical elements was determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The established changes in the content of macro- and microelements in the rat liver and kidney indicate tissue specificity of the fungicidal action. Under the influence of fungicide containing tebuconazole in amount of 250 g/dm3 or combined fungicide containing (tebuconazole, 125 g/dm3 + triadimefon, 100 g/dm3) the content of Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) increased sugnificantly (P<0.05) in liver. This can lead to a functional load on the organ. Contrary, in kidney the studied fungicides cause the decrease (P<0.05) in the content of trace elements (Zn, Mn, Cr), Zn:Cu ratio and increase in the Fe content, which may indicate the oxidative metabolic disorders in the organ, but an increase in the Ca content (P<0.05) — characterize the permeability of cell membranes. The detected changes in the content of macro- and microelements in the kidney and liver tissues may be the dysfunction and altering the effectiveness of intracellular control and effector signals.
