The concentration and distribution of some stable elements in healthy human tissues from the United Kingdom An environmental study

Antimony in lung, liver and kidney tissue from deceased smelter workers.

“…In this study, as in other studies, it was found that lung contains more antimony than liver and kidney tissues (13,19,31). In the present study the antimony concentration of the lung tissue of exposed workers was 12-fold higher than that of the referents (p < 0.001).…”

Iron, Copper, Cadmium, Zinc and Magnesium Contents of Urinary Tract Stones and Hair from Men with Stone Disease

“…In the end, this trapped particle acts as a nucleus or nidus for the formation of a stone [14], Do elements imbalances play a part in these processes? In contrast to data obtained by Hamilton et al [15], we found significant differences in the hair element levels of normal people and people with urinary tract stones. It does not mean that element imbalances in the body are necessarily the only reason for stone formation but, rather, may be one of the fac tors.…”

Organotin Implications in Anticarcinogenesis. Effects of Several Organotins on Tumour Growth Rate in Mice

“…Hamilton, Minski andCleary (1972-1973) have pointed out that tin content is high in lymph nodes and bone (presumably the marrow) and considerably lower in the lung, liver, kidney and muscle, and very small in the blood and brain.…”
