Heavy metals content in whole blood was analyzed for Kyiv city residents, who were tested in 2019-2020 years. According to obtained results, the metals were divided into three group. 1) with elevated concentration in statistical sample and elevated threshold (mercury and arsenic); 2) with elevated concentrations for several patients while average concentration for sample did not exceed threshold (lead); 3) with single cases of increased concentrations that are not a risk to the health of the population, but pose a threat to a particular patient (Bi, Cd, Cr, Mo, Cs, Va). Some metals never exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations Al, Ba, Be, Au, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pd, Pt, Sr, Ti, U, Zr). We recommend regular check-up for the concentrations of mercury and arsenic in blood, because these metals are the factors of population risk. When the metals concentrations in blood are elevated, the diagnosis should be established taking into account clinical history of the patient.
