AB - Abstract We applied energy-dispersive x-ray fluorescence to the determination of abnormally present elements or abnormal concentrations of elements in human broncho-alveolar lavage fluids. The low detection limits and the ability to perform multi-elemental analysis permit one to establish or confirm occupational exposure of workers. We also describe different methods used to check our method and our results. We report examples of abnormal compositions of broncho-alveolar lavages containing W, Ce, La, Nd, I, Fe, or Ni. We discuss the limits of the method for characterizing silicosis or asbestosis. This content is only available as a PDF. © 1986 The American Association for Clinical Chemistry, Inc.
