Abstract
Samples of dust extracted from the lungs and lymph nodes of certain domestic animals from West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar provinces of India were quantitatively analysed using photon excited energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique. Thin specimens were prepared for analysis to minimize matrix enhancement and absorption effects. Amongst the various elements analysed, Hg, Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb were found to be present in appreciable amounts. An important finding was the presence of a very high concentration of Hg in extracted dust samples from West Bengal. The significance of the various results obtained in this investigation is discussed.
