The contents of the elements antimony, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium, silver, tin and zinc in bone tissue from autopsy specimens of the femur of workers who had been exposed to a large number of metals in a smeltery and refinery in Northern Sweden as well as of a control group have been quantitatively assayed. The analytical techniques used were atomic absorption spectrophotometry, neutron activation analysis and particle induced X-ray emission analysis (PIXE) in a proton microprobe. Increased levels of lead in the bone tissue of exposed workers compared to a non-exposed control group were observed. The median level of lead in the group of exposed workers exceeded the corresponding value of the control group about 5 times. Using the proton microprobe in the PIXE-mode, concentration profiles of copper, lead and zinc were examined within the Haversian system of the bone samples.
对瑞典北部一家冶炼厂和精炼厂中接触大量金属的工人以及对照组的股骨尸检标本骨组织中的锑、砷、镉、铜、铅、汞、硒、银、锡和锌等元素含量进行了定量分析。所使用的分析技术包括原子吸收分光光度法、中子活化分析以及质子微探针中的粒子诱导X射线发射分析（PIXE）。与未接触的对照组相比，观察到接触工人骨组织中的铅含量升高。接触工人组中铅的中位数水平超过对照组相应值约5倍。利用PIXE模式下的质子微探针，研究了骨样本哈弗斯系统内铜、铅和锌的浓度分布。
