Comparison and Agreement of Toxic and Essential Elements Between Venous and Capillary Whole Blood

Description
Summary:For practical and ethical reasons, there is an interest in the use of capillary blood as an alternative to classical human biomonitoring methods that use venipuncture. However, with the exception of Pb, few elements have been studied in detail to understand potential differences in measures between capillary and venous blood. To increase our understanding of the agreement in concentrations of select toxic metal(loid)s and essential minerals in venous and capillary whole blood. Concentrations of As, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu, Fe, and Se were measured with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry in venous and capillary whole blood samples obtained from 49 healthy adult members of the McGill University community in 2016. Measured concentrations of all elements were similar to values reported in background populations. There were strong correlations (i.e., p
