“…For the majority of people, exposure to lead occurs from secondary sources. It can be inhaled; it may enter the atmosphere through burning at industrial sources, through smelting, and until recently, through emissions of vehicles with leaded gasoline (80). Lead can also enter drinking water through older lead pipes (77), some home paints, and contaminated soils, with all causing an ongoing source of exposure and danger, especially for children.…”

ABSTRACTThe food and water we consume are often contaminated with a range of chemicals and heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, and mercury, that are associated with numerous diseases. Although heavy-metal exposure and contamination are not a recent phenomenon, the concentration of metals and the exposure to populations remain major issues despite efforts at remediation. The ability to prevent and manage this problem is still a subject of much debate, with many technologies ineffective and others too expensive for practical large-scale use, especially for developing nations where major pollution occurs. This has led researchers to seek alternative solutions for decontaminating environmental sites and humans themselves. A number of environmental microorganisms have long been known for their ability to bind metals, but less well appreciated are human gastrointestinal bacteria. Species such asLactobacillus, present in the human mouth, gut, and vagina and in fermented foods, have the ability to bind and detoxify some of these substances. This review examines the current understanding of detoxication mechanisms of lactobacilli and how, in the future, humans and animals might benefit from these organisms in remediating environmental contamination of food.

“…From the seminal papers of Rabinowitz et al (1991;1993) to the more recent works of Arora et al (2011; and Hare et al (2011) through the wealth of isotope studies by Gulson et al (1994;1996), Farmer et al (2006) and Robbins et al (2010), research has revealed the value of dental enamel and dentine as biological indicators of exposure. Central to many of these studies has been the aim to develop a blood lead biomarker as an alternative to blood lead measurements (BPb).…”

“…• The advantage of deciduous tooth lead over blood lead analysis lies in the incorporation of lead into the tooth during several years from uterus to exfoliation, compared with blood that has recent exposure [49] [50]. Therefore, element distribution in deciduous teeth may provide retrospective exposure information during fetal development and early childhood.…”

Reference values reflecting the findings of natural concentrations of teeth in a well-defined group of individuals, are indispensable, if one is to interpret results generated for clinical utility. Hence, a comprehensive compilation of literature survey is attempted to make available as a reference guideline for tooth element concentrations. Presently, the reference values are proposed for 19 elements. Several factors that are found influencing element levels, are common to any biosample and are broadly grouped under four categories namely, the factors of teeth, donor, environment and analytical methods. How best the influencing factors to be considered during analysis, are discussed. It is elucidated that standardized method of analysis with quality assurance and precision will reduce the ambiguity of comparison of inter-laboratory measurement. When the merits and demerits of element measurements are evaluated, it is recognized that except a hurdle of difficult specific sampling, many advantages make teeth an attractive material for environmental health monitoring of population and for assessment of element status of deficiency and excess due to differential exposure. The available data of tooth elements are lesser in comparison to data of blood and hair; further studies are required for reference values of others elements and for distribution pattern in different conditions, parts and types of teeth.
