Abstract
A survey is presented of the rationale of and the operative procedures for the assessment of reference values of minor and trace elements in human blood (whether entire, plasma, or serum), urine, milk, hair, ki dneys, liver, and lungs. Literature sources available on this subject matter have been scanned over the past 30 years and reference values h ave been critically and selectively reported. The need for further har monization of strategies and better comparability of experimental data is emphasized.
