    AbstractAnalysis of the 1991-2006 statistical data of the Amur Region has indicated that the prevalence of tuberculosis does not depend on the level of ambient air pollution, the total amount of mercury-containing pesticides introduced into the plough-lands, and the environmental emission of metallic mercury at gold mining. The established set and the level and ratio of major mineral and trace elements in the blood of healthy individuals are suggestive of their adaptation to the specific geochemical environment. The excess and deficiency of major mineral and trace elements in the blood of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis result from the occurring pathomorphological, pathophysiological, metabolic, and other disorders that hamper the excretion of toxicants.
