Year: 2000
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objectives : This study was peformed to determine the reference values of blood lead, manganese, aluminium, and silicon in healthy adults. Methods : The subjects were 132 (67 male and 65 female), and classified to three age groups . Blood lead, manganese and aluminium were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and blood silicon was analyzed by direct current plasma optical emission spectrometer. Results : Blood lead levels(geometric mean, S.D) were (3.49, 1.70) in male and (3.04, 1.65) in female, but the difference is not significant, and there was no significant difference between age groups. Mean blood manganese level was , and there was no significant difference between sex or age groups. Mean blood aluminium level was , and there was no significant difference between sex or age groups. Mean blood silicon level was in male and in female, and the level in male was significantly higher than that in female (p
