title: Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry Determination of Marker Elements for Childhood Soil Ingestion
abstract: The methodology developed with inductively coupled plasma spectrometry for the determination of marker elements (Al, Si, Ti, Zr, Y, Cr, La, Ce, Cr, and Nd) for childhood soil ingestion in biological (feces), environmental (dust and soil), and food samples are described. The quality assurance-quality control protocol for sample preparation, especially for food, diaper, and fecal samples and for determination of marker elements are presented.
