the life of organisms. Extremely wide application of chromium in almost all branches of the chemical and
metallurgical industry necessitates an in-depth study of its harmful effect on living organisms. At present,
there are fifty industries where a person contacts with chromium. Today, have accumulated data, indicating
that chromium compounds have not only a general toxic, but mutagenic and carcinogenic effect on humans
and animals.
Studies were conducted on white, non-pedigree rats of three months old with an initial body weight of
150-160 g. The preparation of cytological preparations was carried out according to the generally accepted
technique of "dried preparations" with some modifications. The object of electron microscopy was the main
bone marrow cells of the femur.
Electron-microscopic examination of bone marrow chromosomes showed a change in the amount and
in their linked structure. The performed work proves that even the minimal dose (on the rat we introduce
0.01%, 0.1%, 1% chromium) promotes the change of chromosomes in the genetic level. The frequency of
chromosome disturbances in rats was appreciably high. An increase in the frequency of chromosome number
violation with a high concentration of chromium introduced (1%) is noted. It also proves that at sufficient
doses people living in carcinogenic areas are also susceptible to chromium toxicity.
The main way of the entry of chromium into the surrounding environment is the contamination of the
atmosphere by condensation and disintegration aerosols formed in the process of obtaining chromium and its
compounds from chrome ore and its further processing. Solving the acute environmental problem of air
pollution in agglomerations will certainly contribute to reducing the incidence of cancer and mortality.
