Abstract:
Physicochemical simulation (pH, electrolytes and temperature) of three physiological media was carried out in order to follow the release of trace elements contained in seven edible clays (mainly kaolinite, illite, muscovite and quartz) collected from the West African countries of Côte d'Ivoire, Guinée and Sénégal. These clays are ingested by pregnant women for diverse reasons that are related to their condition. Simulated oral (6.5
