 | | An increase in the number of children with hyperplasia of the thyroid gland has been observed in clinical testing of people living in the forest-belt areas of the Byelorussian SSR, the Ukrainian SSR and the RSFSR, where levels of trace elements in the environment are low (and where goitre cases are endemic). |
