Manganese is a component and cofactor for many important enzymes. In blood Mn is complexed to transferrin, and it quickly passes through the body to be extracted mainly in the bile and urine. Almost all Mn pool in blood is located in erythrocytes. Content of manganese in serum, erythrocytes, and hair of 26 men, workers of an airport, was determined. The control group consisted of administrative workers and the test group was composed of airplane servicemen. Hair samples of 0.5 g and 3-4 cm in length measured from the scalp were taken from some places on a head, washed with a detergent solution, rinsed with deionized water, acetone, and dried. Samples of blood were spun. All the samples were mineralized in a mixture of spectrally clean acids HNO3 and HClO4. Concentration of Mn was analyzed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry GFAAS. The concentrations of Mn in the samples of erythrocytes were statistical significantly higher in the test group. In samples of hair, Mn concentrations were comparable between both groups of men. The coefficients of correlation between Mn concentrations in serum and hair, erythrocytes and hair, and between serum and erythrocytes did not imply significant correlations between Mn concentration in the analyzed clinical samples. In contrast, in the erythrocytes of men exposed on aviation fuel the content of Mn was significantly higher.
