Background:
USA implemented a national Biomonitoring program and as result found that 88% of the population is affected by secondhand smoking and then started a monitoring program to control smoking. In Mongolia, due to the capacity of the biomonitoring tests, only children’s lead level was determined. The study showed that blood lead level in children aged 0.5-14 years was 0.4-16.5 μg/dl in average. However, there is no reference level and therefore reference level from other countries are used.
Objectives:
To study the correlation between the environmental effect and toxic metal level in children’s’ blood
Methods and materials:
103 children aged 0-5 years, consisting of 10 male and female children of each age. 6 kindergartens and 14 households were chosen for their internal air quality monitoring; measured the level of toxic metals and dust by cross-sectional study based on laboratory analysis.
Results:
41.7% (44) are male and 58.3% (59) are female of the total participants. 16.5% (17) are 1 year old, 18.4 (19) are 2 years old, 23.3% (24) are 3 years old, 19.4% (20) are 4 years old, 22.3% (23) are 5 years old. The result showed the children’s’ blood level was 4.12±1.35 μg/dl. The lead level in the internal air of households close to steam boilers were measured and it was 0.000095 mg/m2.
Conclusion
60.1% of the children had blood lead levels 3 times higher than the reference level. However, the lead level of internal air was lower than the reference level. No effect of Internal air quality on blood lead level was observed and weight and height were inversely correlated.

BACKGROUND OF STUDY: Not only in developed countries but also in Mongolia it is vital
problem to decide how to improve human life’s quality, to make clear the measurement
to take, discover human body’s change, aging mechanism and predict from
these diseases. The research on herders’ biological aging which is connected to the geography,
nature, environment, climate, inhabitant, culture and labor’s specialty hasn’t
been done yet. So it causes the basis to write this research.
AIMS: Defining the nomadic herder’s biological aging
MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: All the herders in Gobi-Altai were included in this research.
They wereclassified into ages such as 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-69, and 202
female and 212 male herders were chosen accidentally. The model types of research
“Cross-Sectional” method is used for this, the equipment called “Tanita” which is used
for measuring body is used for collecting information and also SPSS-22programmis used
for producing result.
RESULT OF STUDY:
1. 49% of all research participants are male, 51% are female.
2. Herder’s biological aging is 50,4+9,4 and it shows that 6,3 older than calendar ages.
3. Herders’ aging was different for male and female herders. 81,8 percent of the male
herders get older very fast whereas 69,4 of female herders get older slowly.
CONCLUSION:
• Male herder’s aging is 14 years older than womenThe older female and male herders
get, the less their difference in their biological age becomes.
• The percentage of the herders whose aging is getting fast is 21-26 % older than
biological aging of the UB city’s people.
• Biological age and sex’s connection (r=0,0001 p=0,00488) between biological age
and weight’s index is (r=0,00488, p=0,001) is different and statistical significant.
