We identified hair elementary content by neutron activation analysis for short-time and long-time radionucleids in 48 Dolgan children in ages from 10 to 14 years of age, the inhabitants of Khatanga village. We determined the content of such macro and micro elements as manganese, copper, vanadium, chlorine, aluminium, uranium, mercury, caesium, iron, cobalt, soidum, gold, calcium, bromine, silver, barium, selenium, chromium (dry mass in mg/kg). The content of vanadium, chlorine, cobalt, gold, calcium and bromine in naive children of Khatanga village didn’t differ from the indices in Russian European territories. There was evident increase of manganese, copper, aluminium, uranium, mercury, caesium, natrium, silver, barium, selenium, chromium. We revealed lower content of calcium and iron in hair in the examined children. In Dolgan boys we revealed true decreased content of silver (p<0.05) and increased of bromine (p<0.05), than in Dolgan girls. Correlation analysis shows the intersconnection between some indices and the age of examined subject, in particular, with chlorine content (r=-0.43, p<0.01), cobalt (r=-0.39, p<0.05), gold (r=-0.40, p<0.05). We didn’t revealed interconnection between the content of macro and micro elements with health indices in the examined children. In the group with the delay in physical development we revealed lower content of calcium (p<0.05) and the tendency to higher content of silver (p<0.1). In hair in children with clinical signs of vitamin insufficiency (angular stomatitis, chilitis, follicle hyperkeratosis) we revealed the tendency to higher content of mercury.
