Abstract

Comparative study of results of the recent environmental research performed in the areas of tectonic and volcano activity as well as territories of mining and metallurgy enterprises was carried out. The obtained results demonstrate that humans living chronically exposed to volcanic emissions show high concentrations of essential and non-essential trace metals such as zinc, lead, cadmium, copper in scalp hair, and is suggested that this type of exposure may be as harmful as living close to industrial facilities.
 The significance is highlighted of initiatives and activities in medical geology for projects desining of territories of mineral-raw centers of economic developing.
