加纳一个小规模金矿社区的57名男性居民的尿液金属特征。在所有参与者中，铬和砷分别有52%和34%超过健康指导值。大约10%-40%的参与者的尿铝、铜、锰、镍、硒和锌的水平低于美国参考范围。暴露似乎在整个社区无处不在，因为没有任何因素与职业、年龄和饮食有关。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Urinary metals were characterized in 57 male residents of a small-scale gold mining community in Ghana. Chromium and arsenic exceeded health guideline values for 52% and 34%, respectively, of all participants. About 10-40% of the participants had urinary levels of aluminum, copper, manganese, nickel, selenium, and zinc that fell outside the U.S. reference range. Exposures appear ubiquitous across the community as none of the elements were associated with occupation, age, and diet. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
