Secondary Target X-ray Excitation for In Vivo Measurement of Lead in Bone
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Extract
Environmental lead exposure continues to be a health hazard, especially to young children, and is a serious problem In the U.S. Since lead is stored in the skeleton, measurement of lead in bone (e.g. finger or tibia) can serve as an Indicator of lifetime exposure. Energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence (XRF) currently seems to be the method of choice for non-Invasive testing, and is expected to be further developed for screening purposes.
