Lead, copper and zinc in deciduous teeth and the diet of schoolchildren in Kamloops and Trail, B.C.

Onishi, Geraldine Mineko January 1980 (has links)
The accumulation of metal contaminants in the human environment has received a great deal of attention during the last several years as it has become apparent that their presence, in excess, represents a threat to human health. Biochemical assays to determine concentrations of metals in the human body have used such tissues as blood, bone, hair, nails and, more recently, teeth. The present study attempts to provide further evidence for the use of deciduous teeth as indicators of human exposure to concentrations of lead, copper and zinc as a result of ore smelting operations in Kamloops and Trail, British Columbia. Kamloops represents an area of minimum exposure to smelter operations in contrast to Trail where a lead/zinc smelter has been operating for many years. Concentrations of lead, copper and zinc in deciduous teeth from geographically-stable Kamloops children, aged 5 years to 12 years, were compared to concentrations found in a similar population of geographically-stable Trail children. Whole teeth were digested in nitric and perchloric acids and trace element concentrations were determined using inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. Mean lead and zinc concentrations for Kamloops and Trail teeth, respectively, were: 31.6 ± 7.33 ppm and 48.2. ± 11.5 ppm for lead (p < 0.05) and 103.4 ± 23.6 ppm and 111.9 ± 15.4 ppm for zinc. Copper was undetectable at < 1 ppm in all teeth. Locally-grown foods from each area and foods grown elsewhere were also analyzed for lead, copper and zinc in an effort to establish the possible contribution of these elements from local food resources in Kamloops and Trail. Twenty-four hour diet composites were collected and analyzed for copper and zinc by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mean copper and zinc concentrations for foods grown in Kamloops and Trail, respectively, were: 1.5 ± 0.4 ppm and 1.6 ± 0.9 ppm for copper and 3. 2 ± 1.3 ppm and 3.1 ± 0.9 ppm for zinc. Mean copper and zinc concentrations for non-locally grown foods collected from Kamloops and Trail, respectively, were: 1.1 ± 0.2 ppm and 1.6 ± 0.8 ppm for copper and 5.8 ± 1.9 ppm and 6.5 ± 0.3 ppm for zinc. Lead was determined by plasma emission spectroscopy, and was found to be undetectable at < 1 ppm in all food samples. To assess the extent of maximal consumption of locally-grown foods, selected home gardeners in the Brocklehurst district of Kamloops and the Genelle district of Trail were interviewed. Seasonal consumption and home food preservation practices were determined. In addition, 24-hour diet recalls were obtained from 177 Brocklehurst district children in September and April, 1977-78 to determine "typical" eating patterns of these children. . The amount of locally-grown foods consumed was dependent mainly on season of the year; however, choice of food by the children on the whole did not differ from fall to spring. The recalls also indicated that males consumed more food than females, particularly protein. Meals, especially breakfast, were frequently missed, and non-nutritious snacks were common to the diets of many of the children. Results from this study indicated that, although deciduous tooth lead concentrations were significantly (p<0.05) higher in Trail than in Kamloops, samples of locally-grown foods obtained in 1978 from these two communities were not excessively high in lead, zinc or copper. In fact, these elements in foods compared well to concentrations reported in other areas of North America. It would appear, then, that the higher concentrations of lead in Trail teeth are a result of increased intake from other environmental sources. Analyses of food consumption patterns of gardening families revealed that local foods comprised an important part of the diet. Measures should be taken to ensure the continued safety of foods in areas where mineral mining and smelting occur. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate

Suivre à la trace : de la "trace-habilitée" au vérifiable, qu'en est-il de la pratique clinique aujourd'hui ? / Tracked : to what extent are « trace-ability » and the verifiable linked together ?

Roose-Beauprez, Olivia 26 November 2016 (has links)
Cette démarche prend corps au sein du quotidien et de ma pratique clinique de psychologue. Ce qui tente de se mettre en mouvement ici, en pensées, tourne autour de la notion de la trace. Notion à multiples définitions que je vais tenter d’interroger et de mettre au travail. Il s’agit en cela, de réfléchir au contemporain qui pointe et « trace » l’individu alors que la psychanalyse montre justement ce qu’il n’est pas. Cela fait écho au regard commun actuel, où il s’agit de situer le trauma comme une trace ou une empreinte à repérer. Que signifie donc la ou les trace(s) ? Où se trouve cette parole du sujet ? En quoi la recherche des « traces » du passé ou des « traces » d’un traumatisme fait davantage du psychologue un « chercheur » un « pisteur » et cela au nom d’une science devenue scientisme. Pouvons-nous encore parler de « traces du sujet » ou est-ce plutôt de « trace-habilitée » dont il s’agit ? / This work takes its origin in my daily clinical practice of psychologist. It is trying to think about the notion of trace. The trace is a notion of multiple definitions that I will try to examine and get to work. It is question to think on contemporary where the human subject is tracked while psychoanalysis shows that he always escapes. This echoes the current common look, where the trauma is located or tracked as a trace or footprint. So what does it mean trace(s) ? Are we still able to pay attention to what the patient says ? In the name of science became scientism, why finding "traces" of the past or "traces" of trauma make a psychologist more a “researcher” or a “tracker”? Are we still able to speak of " traces of the subject" or is it now rather "trace-ability" ?

Instrumental and Statistical Methods for the Comparison of Class Evidence

Liszewski, Elisa Anne 09 March 2011 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Trace evidence is a major field within forensic science. Association of trace evidence samples can be problematic due to sample heterogeneity and a lack of quantitative criteria for comparing spectra or chromatograms. The aim of this study is to evaluate different types of instrumentation for their ability to discriminate among samples of various types of trace evidence. Chemometric analysis, including techniques such as Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, Principal Components Analysis, and Discriminant Analysis, was employed to evaluate instrumental data. First, automotive clear coats were analyzed by using microspectrophotometry to collect UV absorption data. In total, 71 samples were analyzed with classification accuracy of 91.61%. An external validation was performed, resulting in a prediction accuracy of 81.11%. Next, fiber dyes were analyzed using UV-Visible microspectrophotometry. While several physical characteristics of cotton fiber can be identified and compared, fiber color is considered to be an excellent source of variation, and thus was examined in this study. Twelve dyes were employed, some being visually indistinguishable. Several different analyses and comparisons were done, including an inter-laboratory comparison and external validations. Lastly, common plastic samples and other polymers were analyzed using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and their pyrolysis products were then analyzed using multivariate statistics. The classification accuracy varied dependent upon the number of classes chosen, but the plastics were grouped based on composition. The polymers were used as an external validation and misclassifications occurred with chlorinated samples all being placed into the category containing PVC.
