Rare Earth Element Content in Hair Samples of Children Living in the Vicinity of the Kola Peninsula Mining Site and Nervous System Diseases.
The aim of this study is to assess the rare earth element (REE) content in hair samples of children living in Lovozero village, near an REE mining site, and the possible effects of REEs on the prevalence of nervous system diseases in Lovozersky District (Murmansk region, Kola Peninsula). Fifty-three...

Fifty-three school-age children were recruited for the analysis of REE content in hair samples.

The analysis of REE content in the hair of children living in Russia, Kazakhstan, and China indicated REE intake from the environment.

In this paper, the possible contribution of REEs to the prevalence of episodic paroxysmal disorders (G40-G47), cerebral palsy (G80-G83), and epilepsy and status epilepticus (G40-G41) is discussed.
