Determination the levels of some heavy metals and study its effect on antisocial behavior among adolescents

Abstract
Adolescence is one of the important stages a person goes through his life, psychological and social changes occur during this stage. The characteristics of the adolescent continually appear and develop until they reach adulthood. The adolescent goes through a stage of emotions such as aggressive adolescence until he reaches the stage of adulthood.
Delinquency is a behavioral deviation of a person from social norms. A juvenile may commit a punishable act, which is considered a criminal deviation. The event that perpetrates the deviation is called the delinquent event. The aim is to estimate the amounts of heavy metals concentrations in blood samples of patients and healthy ones and to show the relationship between high heavy metals concentrations and juvenile delinquency.
Heavy metals are non-degradable acquired environmental pollutants. It enters the human body in several ways, through the mouth, skin, and inhalation. It accumulates in the body and thus affects the brain and may lead to deviant behavior. In this study, the relationship between heavy metals was clarified.
In this study, the relationship between heavy metals (lead, cadmium, cobalt) and the abnormal behavior of adolescents was clarified. The levels of heavy metals in the blood were measured using an atomic absorption spectrometer of a graphite furnace type (AA-6300 SHIMADZU). 100 samples were taken, 50 patients and 50 healthy subjects, and the number of males in the sample of patients was (46) and females (4), and it was also in the sample of healthy people (46) males and females. (4) Females. The arithmetic mean of lead in the healthy subjects was 49.36 ± 6.61, and the patients were 184.18 ± 6.61, and the arithmetic mean of cadmium in the healthy subjects was 0.89 ± 11.88, and the patients were 0.92 ± 25.38, and the arithmetic means. The study showed a close correlation between high concentrations of heavy metals and the abnormal behavior of some adolescents (delinquents).
For cobalt in healthy subjects, 30.71 ± 2.27 and patients 64.00 ± 3.1. The above results showed statistically high significance in all levels of lead, cadmium and cobalt except for gender, the results appeared insignificant (P-value > 1). As for the arithmetic averages, there were insignificant results and p-value (37.0) due to the close ages, the arithmetic mean of the healthy 16.36±0.13 and 16.18±0.15 patients. The percentages of drinking alcohol, using drugs and smoking, respectively, were (62.0%) (92.0%) (53.0%).
