摘要
The concentrations of trace elements in the dental enamel from human teeth collected from the Oxfordshire area of the UK have been measured using PIXE. Trace elements heavier than Ca were analyzed and correlated to a number of parameters including the health of the teeth and the age and gender of the donor. The concentration of Fe, Sr and Cu were found to correlate with dental health, and the mean concentration of Pb was found to be 7 mu g g(-1) for under 25 year olds and increased with age. The uniformity of the trace elements, and its effect on the statistical distribution of their concentrations is discussed.
