ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The quality of our life is determined by the quality of the air that we breathe. Hence the influence of cigarette smoking and secondary exposure of persons within the smoking environment is significant. Previous studies have confirmed the influence of passive smoking to on the accumulation of given elements in the tonsils. The subject of the study is to determine the importance of ETS exposure for the accumulation of Pb, Be, Ba, Ca, Mg and Sr in the pharyngeal tonsils..
Material and Methods:
The study involved 162 adenoids from boys and girls living in Tychy and Chorzów. exposed and not exposed to passive smoking. All biological samples were subjected to mineralization with nitric acid (V) from Merck. The chemical composition of the samples was determined by the ICP – AES method.
Results:
The statistical analysis of the elements in the tonsils of children exposed and not exposed to ETS is performed taking into account as an additional criterion of distribution the place of residence and gender of the children.
Conclusions:
There was no significant effect of passive smoking on the increaseof the examined metals in the adenoid. However the role of gender and place of residence to the process of accumulation of elements in this organ remains significant.
