This study investigates the characteristics of changes in blood indicators among school-aged children in Karakalpakstan under conditions of technological load. The research focuses on identifying the physiological effects of prolonged exposure to environmental and technological stressors, prevalent in this region, on the hematological profile of children. Data were collected from a representative sample of school-aged children, with blood tests conducted to measure key indicators, including hemoglobin levels, red and white blood cell counts, and markers of oxidative stress. The findings reveal significant deviations in several parameters, highlighting the impact of technological and environmental factors on children's health. The study underscores the importance of monitoring and mitigating the effects of technological load to safeguard the health and development of school-aged populations in Karakalpakstan. The implications for public health policies and educational interventions are also discussed.
