COMBINED METHODS FOR EVALUTION OF THE HEAVY METALS CONTAMINATION OF HUMAN BEINGS CORELATED WITH HUMAN HARD TISSUES METABOLISM

Our main aim is to find an assessment methodology for heavy metals stored in heavy human tissues correlated with their metabolism for the assessment of human health state and also for an objective valuation for contamination sources. We estimate a sinergistic link between elemental analyses method at bulk level with local ones, at microscopical level (localized and mapped). The research group, based on the whole adequate experience, has established that edpxrf (energy dispersive polarized x-ray fluorescence spectrometry) and esem-eds(environmental scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry) can be used together for Pb, Hg, Cd, Sr, etc. contents, but also for constitutive elements, too.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

General population contamination with heavy metals and occupational people exposure from diffuses sources (autovehicles emissions, imissios, ecc.) or localized (plants, offices, etc.) is a dangerous phenomenon which is not correct assessed due to the lack of methods and proper measurement technics. The project addresses specific researches about how to develop a methodology for heavy metals contamination and also for heavy metals acumulation assessment in heavy human tissues.


  • Requirements

    to prove scientifically the uncertainty budgets for EDPXRF and ESEM-EDS

  • Analysis Methods

    determination of physical-chemichal spectrometry analitical programs; - .

  • Primary goal

    The substantiation, development and practice of some statistic methods for transfer uncertainty assesment of heavy metals in biological processes.

  • Analysis

    modelling and quantifing of heavy metals contamination processes and of heavy metals methabolism;

Estimated results

development of a methodology for heavy metals contamination and for heavy metals acumulation assessment in heavy human tissues.
