Xj. Liu et al., Comparison of trace elements in drinking water between high and low incidence districts of gastric carcinoma, NUCL INST B, 160(1), 2000, pp. 167-171
Samples of drinking water collected from high incidence and low incidence d
istricts of gastric carcinoma were analyzed using PIXE. The results showed
that the concentrations of elements Ti, V, Fe, Cu and Sr in the samples fro
m high incidence districts were significantly higher than those from low in
cidence districts, while the element As in the samples from low incidence d
istricts was higher than that from the high incidence districts. (C) 2000 E
