Summary: | Reference values in biological specimens are crucial to estimate the type and magnitude of environmental and occupational exposure: Because of its importance in the excretion of noxious substances and to the noninvasive mode of its collection, urine is a useful specimen for monitoring studies. Thus, the concentrations of six trace elements (Al, Co, Mo, Nb, Ni, and Ti) were determined in 100 urine samples of the Budapestian population by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The obtained creatinine adjusted concentrations (medians) are (in microg/g) 9.9, 0.6, 53.5, 0.4, 1.5, and 8.5 for Al, Co, Mo, Nb, Ni, and Ti, respectively. |
