The research involved first-year students from Africa, Latin America, the Near and Middle East, and Southeast Asia. A group of first-year students from the Moscow region acted as a control during the research. Studies have shown that there are significant differences in the content of toxic metals (Al, As, Hg, Pb, Cd, Sn) in the hair of foreign first-year students, depending on the region of residence. Students from Africa and Latin America were characterized by the highest content of toxic metals in their hair.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Представлены результаты изучения содержания токсичных металлов в волосах студентов первого курса Российского университета дружбы народов, прибывших на обучение из различных климатогеографических регионов мира. В проведенных исследованиях принимали участие студенты-первокурсники из стран Африки, Латинской Америки, Ближнего и Среднего Востока, Юго-Восточной Азии. В качестве контрольной выступала группа студентов-первокурсников из московского региона. Установлено, что имеются достоверные отличия в содержании токсичных металлов (Al, As, Hg, Pb, Cd, Sn) в волосах иностранных студентов-первокурсников в зависимости от региона проживания. Наибольшим содержанием в волосах токсичных металлов характеризовались студенты из стран Африки и Латинской Америки.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>foreign students</kwd><kwd>hair</kwd><kwd>toxic metals</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>иностранные студенты</kwd><kwd>волосы</kwd><kwd>токсичные металлы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Li Y, Zhou Q, Ren B, Yuan J, Ding X, Bian H, Yao X.
