The study of the biological role of chemical elements in farm animals is one of the issues that scientists continue to investigate. A comprehensive study of the gene pool and phenofund of breeds and species of farm animals is being carried out in Siberia. An important issue is the search for vital markers of macronutrient accumulation, including sodium in organs and tissues of animals. The article presents data on the content of sodium in the blood serum of offspring obtained from bulls-producers of the Holstein breed. The experiment was carried out at OAO Vaganovo, Kemerovo region. The sodium concentration was determined by the atomic emission method on an ICP AES IRIS spectrometer at the V. S. Sobolev Analytical Center for Collective Use of the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS. In the area of Holstein cattle breeding, there is no excess of LOC for heavy metals in soil, water, feed, organs and tissues of animals. The influence of the genotype of the fathers of the Holstein breed on the sodium content in the blood serum of sons was established. The sodium concentration in Fabio’s offspring was 1.9 times higher (240.4 mg/ l) than in Brio’s sons (P ˂ 0.001). By the level of sodium in the serum of offspring, bulls-producers were arranged in the following order: Brio ˂ Bonaire ˂ Malstrom ˂ Fabio in a proportion of 1: 1.3: 1.5: 1.9. The phenotypic variability of this element between the offspring of different producers differed by 3 times or more. Interbreed differentiation, the influence of the genotype of producers, differences between lines and families sign the hereditary determination of resistance and susceptibility to the accumulation of macro- and microelements in organs and tissues of animals.

Currently, along with an in-depth study of the gene pool and the phenotype pool of farm animals of different breeds and species in the zones of their breeding, special attention is paid to the production of environmentally friendly and safe products of the agro-industrial complex for the end consumer. Therefore, water, feed, soil, animal organs and tissues are carefully monitored for the content of chemical elements. Manganese, like magnesium and other divalent ions, is a non-specific activator of enzymes: hydrolases, kinases, decarboxylases, etc. The absolute need for Mn is confirmed by the metalloenzymes pyruvate carboxylase of the liver mitochondria and muscle oxaloacetate carboxylase. The first contains four manganese atoms and four biotin molecules and catalyzes the carboxylation of pyruvic acid to oxaloacetic acid. The removal of Mn leads to the irreversible loss of enzyme activity, which is not restored with the subsequent introduction of the endogenous metal. The purpose of the research was to establish the correlations of the accumulation of manganese in the hairs with some biochemical parameters in the blood of pigs of Kemerovskaya breed. During the work the correlations of manganese in the hairs with some biochemical parameters of blood serum of pigs have been studied. When comparing the obtained data with the studies of other scientists, all the correlations were described except for the content of manganese in the hairs with serum chlorides (r=–0,43), since this correlation was not confirmed by the data of the scientific literature. A positive correlation has been established between the level of Mn with cholesterol and Mg at the level of 0,542 and 0,417, respectively. The change in the magnitude and direction of the correlation between the concentration of Mn in the hairs and the biochemical composition of the blood can be caused by some animal diseases.

In this work the determination of radon gas (222Rn) and the characterization of chemical elements in drinking water of the city Taxco was carried out. Ingesting or inhaling a small number of radionuclides, as well as water of poor chemical quality, can become a potential public health problem. We are collecting 8 samples of water from a spring, physicochemical parameters were measured in field on different days of the dry season. Measurements of 222Rn were performed in the laboratory with an AlphaGUARD equipment. The chemical quality was analyzed in laboratory too by means of mayor and minor ions, by volumetry and colorimetry. The sodium was determined by Flama Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS). Trace elements were analyzed by were determined by Atomic Emission Spectroscopy with Plasma Coupled by Induction (ICP-AES). The concentrations of 222Rn present an average of 22.06 ± 2.52 BqL-1. The results obtained from the main ions and field parameters show a type of diluted sodium-calcium-bicarbonate water. The trace elements present are very small and not exceed the limit of quantification. Radon gas is produced by the igneous rock that is the top of the stratigraphic column, of the hydric recharge. Rainwater when descending through the fractures is impregnated with 222Rn gas and accumulated in the underlying rock that has sufficient porosity to accumulate water and gas in the Chacualco´s spring.

Coal with high content of alkaline and alkaline earth metals (salty coal) occupies its definite place in an energy reserve of the country. Standard methods to assess the dynamics of the release of salts (mainly sodium chloride) into the aqueous solution during the desalting of salty coal were used. The advantages and disadvantages of existing methods for determining the sodium content in aqueous solutions are considered. The principle of operation of the upgraded spectral complex KSVU-5 based on the determination of the content of alkali metals in aqueous solutions by the method of atomic emission analysis is presented. The remarkable reproducibility of the measurements results on the spectral complex of small and large concentration of Na in solution is shown. The results of an experimental study of the desalting process by water washing of salty coal samples of various size classes (in the range 0-5 mm) and analysis of the obtained solutions by the spectral complex KSVU-5 are presented. Comparison of the sodium concentration in solutions during the desalting of salty coal obtained by atomic absorption and atomic emission analysis was performed. The possibility of using express analysis (Conductivity/TDS) to determine the concentration of sodium in solution is shown. Ref. 8, Fig. 6.

Abstract This study was done to establish the sodium concentration in the cheeses marketed in the western border region of the Rio Grande do Sul. A total of 30 cheese samples (grated Parmesan, Mozzarella, Prato and Artisanal) were collected from different brands and lots. After analyzing them under atomic emission spectroscopy, in quadruplicate, the sodium levels were ascertained. From the quantification of the sodium content significant differences were noted among the lots of all the cheese brands assessed. The results clearly revealed that 44.4% of the companies had listed nutritional values on the labels that were noncompliant with the legislation. Besides, 77.8% of the brands failed to reduce the sodium concentration to the levels jointly decided upon by the Ministry of Health and Brazilian Association of Food Industries, which should have been achieved ideally towards the end of 2016. While the Artisanal cheeses did not register high concentrations of sodium, the formulation of the grated Parmesan cheese was characterized by its high sodium content (2014.56 mg/100 g), as well as by its steady rise in sodium concentration over the years. This is indicative of the inattentiveness of the industry towards the consumers, as stringent laws to standardize the quantity of added salt in cheeses preparations are nonexistent.
