[Trace elements in the human placenta (author's transl)].
The determination of the mentioned elements was carried out by the neutron activation analysis with lollowing radio-chemical separation. The comparison of trace elements in the human placenta from different regions of Bavaria showed a high concentration of Sb, Br, La and Co in Munich. This fact is explained by the environmental pollution of the large city. Placentas from the Bavarian forest contained a higher amount of Ce and Hg. Cer is contained in the rock of this region. The increase in Hg from that region is unexplained.
