A whole range of heavy metals was found in hair samples of 5 tested children in Syunik. A similar collection of heavy metals was also discovered in the hair samples of twelve children examined in Kajaran.
Results of these hair studies are summarized in a research work entitled, "Ecological and Geological Assessment of the Environmental State of Kajaran" (2008). The research was carried out by the Armenian Academy of Sciences' Center for Ecological-Noosphere Studies (CENS) and was commissioned by the Kajaran Municipality. The aim of the research was to evaluate the impact of the Zangezour Copper-Molybdenum Plant on the environment of Kajaran.
