Zel'dovich and Novikov (1967) have noted that there is good agreement between the observed abundance of helium and the results of calculations using the hot model of the universe. The authors pointed out, however, that the problem can be finally solved only after more accurate information is obtained regarding the amount of helium which is being synthesized in the stars. It is found that by studying the abundance of the chemical elements, it would, in principle, be possible to reconstruct the entire history of the metagalaxy. The present review is concerned with the mechanisms which can alter to some extent the abundance of the products of cosmological nucleosynthesis. An analysis of the effectiveness of these mechanisms makes it possible to obtain more definite estimates of the magnitudes of these changes. The obtained information can provide a basis for utilizing the observations of the light elements in making a selection among the cosmological models. The problem of the origin of deuterium is found to be related to the general problem of the origin of light elements.
