Abstract The Mesoproterozoic Aggeneys-Gamsberg ore district, South Africa, is one of the world´s largest sulfidic base metal concentrations and well-known as a prime example Broken Hill-type deposits, traditionally interpreted metamorphosed SEDEX deposits. Within this Gamsberg deposit stands out for its huge size strongly Zn-dominated ( >14 Mt contained Zn). New electron microprobe analyses ...

Determination of trace elements in food is of great importance, as some of them have nutritional significance, whilst others are toxic. Long-term exposure to low levels of toxic metals could be important, especially in relation to children. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DPASV) is applied to simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in dry ash infant formula...

background: lead toxicity has been reported to affect hematopoietic, nervous, reproductive, cardiovascular and urinary tract systems. many investigators have so far studied the effects of high blood lead levels on pregnancy outcomes. objective: to investigate the effects of elevated maternal blood lead during pregnancy on some trace elements and pregnancy outcomes. methods: blood lead and plasm...
