title: [Inductively coupled plasma: a promising new tool with application in human toxicology and public health].
abstract: The authors describe the use of inductively coupled plasma to detect 32 metals and metalloids in blood, urine, hair and nails. They also report the first case of gadolinium overdose documented by blood analysis with this method Metal speciation, a new approach developed in our laboratory, can distinguish between toxic and non toxic metals.
