title: [Aluminum in hydroxyapatites of gallstones from smoking and non smoking women].
abstract: The investigation on the aluminum changes in gallstones from 149 women, including 49 smokers and 79 non-smokers women was carried out. All patients were inhabitants of Southern Poland. Aluminum concentration was determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) with the measurement precision of 1-3% and the detectability of 0.01 microg/g. Arithmetical mean was statistically significantly higher for non-smoking women (33.39 microgAI/g) in comparison to smoking women (20.30 microgAI/g). The changes of given elements were different for smoking women in comparison to non-smoking women.
