Description

The paper discusses the harm of lead in the body, the shortage of blood lead, the importance of bone lead as a new biomarker. In vivo XRF measurements of lead in bone were first made in the early 1970s. These systems have been divided into 57Co excited K, 125I or polarized excited L, 109Cd excited K. (authors)
