Multielement Determination of Metals in Biological Specimens of Hard Metal Workers: a Study Carried Out by Neutron Activation Analysis
MULTIELEMENTAL ANALYSIS, USING NEUTRON ACTIVATION, HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT ON URINE, WHOLE BLOOD, PUBLIC HAIR AND TOENAILS OF THIRDY SUBJECTS OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED TO HARD METAL DUSTS. A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF CO, W AND CR IS OBSERVED IN ALL SAMPLES ANALYSED. THE CONCENTRATIONS DETERMINED, WHEN SUBJECTED TO STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USING PATTERN RECOGNITION TECHNIQUES (E.G. CLUSTER ANALYSIS), INDICATED A POSITIVE CORRELATION, AT P = 0.001, FOR THE PAIR (CO, W) IN URINE AND BLOOD AS WELL AS A POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF CR ON THIS PAIR.
