Isil Aydin (Author), Firat Aydin (Author)

Release Date: 2024-01-16

Heavy metals are elements that are toxic to living organisms above a certain concentration. These elements, which exist in nature, are taken in by living things through air, water and food. They have various effects in the body. Since the amount is important for toxic effects, their analytical analysis is very important. In this study, [...]

    Heavy metals are elements that are toxic to living organisms above a certain concentration. These elements, which exist in nature, are taken in by living things through air, water and food. They have various effects in the body. Since the amount is important for toxic effects, their analytical analysis is very important. In this study, the toxic effects of heavy metals taken with food in the body and analysis methods are explained.
