Thirty-five lung pairs obtained during autopsy from randomly selected patients were investigated by particle induced X-ray emission for overall and regional elemental content determination. In each case the interbronchial lymph node was simultaneously processed. While homogenous distribution has been consistently observed for potassium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, and rubidium, a very different distribution was recorded for titanium, chromium, nickel, and strontium. The significance of these results is discussed with regard to pollution hazards. Regional accumulation of this second group of elements seems to be related to air pollution peculiar to Liège. Advantages and limitations of the technique and the need for further research are stressed.
对随机选取的患者尸检时获取的35对肺进行了粒子激发X射线发射分析，以测定整体和局部的元素含量。每种情况下，同时对支气管间淋巴结进行处理。虽然一直观察到钾、钙、铁、铜、锌和铷的分布均匀，但钛、铬、镍和锶的分布却大不相同。讨论了这些结果在污染危害方面的意义。第二组元素的局部积累似乎与列日特有的空气污染有关。强调了该技术的优点和局限性以及进一步研究的必要性。
