heavy metals, lead, mercury, depleted uranium, military operations.Abstract
Abstract. The problematic article is devoted to the new challenges that the war poses for specialists in the toxicology of heavy metals. The tasks that need to be solved by the scientific toxicological community to protect military personnel and civilians in front-line territories from the toxic effects of heavy metals are formulated.
