Objectives :This study was performed to determine the reference values of blood lead, manganese, aluminium, and silicon in healthy adults.
Methods : The subjects were 132 (67 male and 65 female), and classified to three age groups (≤39, 40∼49, and 50≤). Blood lead, manganese and aluminium were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and blood silicon was analyzed by direct current plasma optical emission spectrometer.
Results : Blood lead levels(geometric mean, S.D) were (3.49, 1.70) ㎍/dL in male and(3.04, 1.65) ㎍/dL in female, but the difference is not significant, and there was no significant difference between age groups. Mean blood manganese level was 0.99±0.41 ㎍/dL, and there was no significant difference between sex or age groups. Mean blood aluminium level was 0.59±0.35 ㎍/dL, and significant difference between sex or age groups. Mean blood silicon level was 54.41±27.64㎍/dL in male and 43.34±23.51㎍/dL in female, and the level in male was significantly higher than that in female (p<0.05). There was significant difference between age groups, and the oldest showed the highest level in male (p<0.05), but no significant difference between age groups in female.
Conclusions : Authors hope that this study would provide basic data for determining reference values and evaluating health effects.
