A study was made of the effect of drinking highly mineralized water on the children's health status, particularly on the urinary system activity. As many as 357 children living in one of the poorly irrigated regions of the Saratov land along the Volga were examined. It has been established that drinking highly mineralized water is a high-intensity factor producing an untoward effect on the children's physical development, contributing to the rise of the incidence of acute (mainly respiratory) and chronic diseases (cholecystopathies, nephropathies, gastrointestinal diseases, nocturnal enuresis, dental caries). The long consumption of such drinking water has been discovered to have an unfavourable effect on the physicochemical and biochemical properties of the urine, excretion of the main crystal-forming substances and certain parameters of mebranolysis. |
