Analytical procedures and clinical reference materials in monitoring human exposures to trace metals with special reference to Cr, Pb and T1.
This paper presents some special guidelines concerning sample collection and handling of clinical specimens for Cr, Pb and T1 analyses. The analytical methods used are briefly discussed. The available clinical reference materials (certified or not) for these three elements are reviewed and future developments are suggested.
