[Microelement composition of the hair of workers in the ceramic paint industry]
Abstract:
By means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry, the neutron-activation analysis and chemicospectral procedure the content of 33 trace elements in the hair samples of 48 workers of various professions at the shop of ceramic paints was analyzed. Elevated cadmium and lead concentrations were identified in the air. Increased concentrations of lead, cadmium, tellurium, arsenic, chromium, cobalt, antimony, silver, vanadium, manganese, selenium, aluminum, titanium were also identified in workers' hair.

Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that the human body needs in small amounts to work properly. They play a vital role in many bodily functions, such as building strong bones and transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are needed for hormone production or to maintain a normal heartbeat. Major minerals include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium, while trace minerals include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.
Mortar
Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, hydrated lime, sand, and water, is a crucial binding material in construction. Its primary function is to join masonry units together, filling gaps and ensuring a uniform distribution of weight across the structure. This helps in preventing potential weaknesses. Mortar also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements such as water and wind, thereby safeguarding the interior of the structure. It also compensates for surface irregularities...
