The studies were carried out on the changes in chromium content in concretions of gallstones taken from 93 women (24 active smoking, 18 passive smoking, 51 non smoking women), respectively. Chromium content was determined with ICP-AES method (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy). Studies on chromium occurrence in concretions of gallstones showed the presence of its higher concentrations in passive smoking women (3.15 microgCr/g) in comparison with active smoking (1.20 microgCr/g) and non smoking women (0.89 microgCr/g). Separate patterns of changes in chromium in active, passive and no smoking women gallstones were demonstrated.
