The influence of "flint" water on the development of biochemical 
processes which cause the accumulation of selenium in the body of 
laboratory animals has been studied experimentally. A decrease in 
the bond energy of the molecule of "flint" water with the anion 
SeO32- in relation to the bond energy 
of the molecule of ordinary water and an increase in the coefficient 
of diffusion of this anion in bone and muscular tissues in filtration 
of "flint" water have been substantiated.
