Abstract

Results: Significant inter elemental correlations were observed for B in group E, (p<0.05), which are not present in group NE. The RA concentrarion of B in group A ranged from 24.72 to 932.03 ug/g, substancially higher than concentracion of the other elements under study. Corresponding concentrarions of B in the NE group were 25.21 to 56. 87 ug/g. Conclusion: B was the most enriched element in the exposed group, followed by As and Mn. Cu content was significantly lower in RA and LIMA from patients in the non exposed group.
