lung and stomach tissues of about fifty abortive fetuses from Baotou
Beijing
GuangZhou
Kunming and Shanghai at the period of 1985-1986 were analyzed on 12 elements by PIXE method.From the data
a significant difference on some elemental contents between different regions was found.The contents of Ca in five organs for Guangzhou fetuses were significantly lower than those for other regions fetuses(P<0.01)
while the contents of Rb in five organs for Kunming fetuses showed a higher level than those for other regions’fetuses(P<0.01).A comparison of the Pb data between fetal elemental spectra and aerosol analysis for different regions revealed a positive interrelation
which may suggest that the data of fetal elemental spectra can indicate the environmental change.In comparison between the fetal elemental spectra data and the regulating cancer-death-rate data
a positive relationship for Pb contents and a negative relationship for Rb contents can be found
which may support the theory that Pb seems cancerogenic and Rb anticancerous.
