[Influence of environmental tobacco smoking on different barium contents in pharyngeal tonsils].
The aim of this study was analysis of content of barium in pharyngeal tonsils from children living on Southern Poland in during exposure on ETS. Barium contents in pharyngeal tonsils were higher for no exposure ETS children (0.099 microg/g) in comparison to exposure by ETS (0.033 microg/g), p=0.0042. The interaction between Ba and Ca, Fe, K or higher arithmetic and geometric mean, statistical range of changes contributed the role ETS in relation to children.
