摘要
Cd, Zn, Cu, and metallothionein (MT) levels have been determined in the renal cortex and liver of 70 persons who died in Lodz and its surroundings in the years 1985-1989. The mean concentrations were: 44.9+/-28.6 mug Cd/g, 52.0+/-16.7 mug Zn/g, 2.4+/-1.0 mug Cu/g, 0.79+/-0.40 mumol Hg/g, and 3.5+/-1.8 mug Cd/g, 66.7+/-30.5 mug Zn/g, 4.9+/-2.1 mug Cu/g, 0.50+/-0.38 mumol Hg/g wet tissue in renal cortex and liver, respectively, with mean age 54.0+/-13.8. Smokers showed 2.4 times higher levels of Cd in the renal cortex than non-smokers. The mean body burden of Cd was 33.4+/-17.3 mg. Smoking increases it twofold from 22.0 mg in non-smokers to 41.8 mg in smokers.
