Large variations in the results have been correlated to the area inhabited, age differences and other factors. It was found that the areas, more prone to environmental stress, had shown more quantities of these metals in blood samples in comparison to those which were taken from safer sites. Similarly the younger children lesser exposed to environmental pollution had shown comparatively lesser quantity of these metals in comparison to older objects. date: 2005-05 date_type: published publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences volume: 4 number: 1 publisher: Dr. B.S.
