Abstract
In recent years, the use of synchrotron radiation for high-sensitivity trace multielement analysis has been well established. We have used a white X-ray beam from the Brookhaven National Synchrotron Light Source to analyze trace elements in nasal cavity bones from both males and females of various ages. Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Sr were routinely identified. A 30 × 60 μm photon beam was used to scan the samples to see variations in elemental concentrations. Results of our preliminary analysis as well as future plans to analyze more bone and other biomedical samples will be discussed.
