Bangladesh have been measured using particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique.
The selected fruits and vegetables for study are usually consumed by all income
groups of rural and city population. The samples were dried, pressed to make
pellet and then bombarded with accelerated protons at 3.0 MV Tandem Accelerator
facility of Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission. The X-rays emitted in the irradiation
were measured by HPGe-detector. The X-ray spectrum was analyzed using GUPIX
software. A number of major and trace elements were found to be in varying concentrations
in the investigated fruits and vegetables. The contents of K and Ca being notably
large in some samples. No toxic elements were detected in the investigated samples.]]>ATSDR,20042004Anderson, J., L. Young and E. Long,20082008Serfor-Armah, Y., B.J.B. Nyarko, E.H.K. Akaho, A.W.K.
