title: [Pollutants in biological fluids].
abstract: The AA. report the gaschromatographic determination of some metal hazards encountered in the environment, as berylliu, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, tin, lead, mercury and others. They develop the rapid method by Hansen et al. for the analysis of sub-nanogram amounts of chromium with the formation from blood of chromium trifluoroacetylacetonate Cr(tfa)3 and quantitation of this chelate using electron-capture GLC. Particularly different samples of chrome tanning workers blood are tested. Informations are provided concerning the equipment, operating parameters, sensitivity, interferences and the approximate time required for this method and the correspondent using the atomic absorption spectrometry.
