Abstract. Higher incidences of thyroid gland hyperplasia in city inhabitants of South Urals steppe and «highland-industrial» zones were associated with mineral content changes in hair probes and with statistical trends to lower red blood cell associated values in peripheral blood analyses.

Keywords: peripheral blood analyses, ecological physiology, thyroid gland, microelements
