[Analysis of possible interaction between lead and calcium in gallstones from active and passive smoking and no smoking women].

The problem of interaction between lead and calcium in gallstones from active and passive smoking and no smoking women living in southern Poland is presented in the work. The subject of the research were gallstones, gained intraoperatively from 93 women (24 active smoking, 18 passive smoking, 51 no smoking women). The content of lead and calcium was determined using atomic emission spectroscopy with inductive couple plasma (ICP-AES). The place of living, smoking and age play an important role in changing the lead and calcium content of gallstones.
