Relationship Between Thyroid Hormonal Status in Patients with a Hypothyroid Form of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Iodine Concentrations in Drinking Water.

The current study aimed to identify correlative and regressive dependencies between the water iodine concentration and the levels of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAbs), and thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb) in the serum of 168 in patients (34 men and 134 women) with a hypothyroid form of Hashimoto's thyroiditis who use water from the supply network and individual wells. Based on the water iodine concentration, low and moderate degrees of iodine endemia in the location of the patients were determined. In the groups of men and women using water from different water supply sources, there were direct correlations between the water iodine concentrations and the TgAbs and TPOAb titers as well as an inverse dependence between iodine and TSH levels.

[Hygienic substantiation of maximum permissible level of triethylphosphate in reservoir water].

Data is presented on hygienic regulation of triethylphosphate (TEP) in the water of reservoirs. TEP is used in agriculture as plasticizer, as well as feedstock for organophosphides. Complex assessment of the results obtained made it possible to recommend 0.
