Concentration of trace metals in the blood of children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tipton (1960), Butt et al. (1964), and Stitch (1957) have shown that 20 trace metals are consistently present in human tissues although only seven of these are known to be essential to man. In addition to the ingestion of trace metals from food, materials such as paints, plastics, and rubbers, which contain many metals, may be mouthed and chewed by children. Excessive ingestion of lead is a well-known health hazard for children, particularly for those who have pica (Greenberg et al., 1958; Bicknell, Clayton, and Delves, 1968), and is associated with increased concentrations of lead in blood. The purpose of the present study was to establish 'normal' values for a series of metals in the blood of children, and to determine whether they were altered in children in whom the physician was considering a possible diagnosis of lead poisoning, since so many materials contain a mixture of metals. The choice of the metals to be investigated in our study was determined by the available analytical techniques. Spark-source mass spectrometry permits determination of all the metals of interest (Table I)

Anodic stripping voltammetric determination of Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu in blood samples of 132 children was developed. The children's ages range was between 6 months and 6 years and the samples were collected from different areas of Ibb governorate (Yemen). We used anodic stripping voltammetry for analyzing and determination of cited metals in the blood of all children. Large variation in the results...
متن کاملHuman Health Risk Assessment of Nitrate and Trace Metals Via Groundwater in Central Bangladesh
Groundwater plays a pivotal role as the largest potable water sources in Bangladesh. As agriculture is widely practiced in Bangladesh, potential nitrate (NO3¯) pollution may occur. Besides, excess amount of arsenic (As) has already been found in groundwater in many parts of Bangladesh including the present study area. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the NO3¯ status along with some trac...

Heavy metals are one of the main groups of environmental pollutants; enter the aquatic environment through natural and human activities. These metals may accumulate in aquatic organisms including fish and be a potential danger to the health of the ecosystem and living organisms, especially for human beings. In this study, the amount of heavy metals including copper, zinc, and nickel was investi...
