Abstract
⺠We evaluated metal exposure by age (8-80 years) and gender in a rural population. ⺠Women had higher concentrations of toxic metals (especially Cd and U) in urine. ⺠Men had higher urinary concentrations of basic and essential elements. ⺠Manganese was consistently higher in females than in males in all age groups. ⺠Cadmium, lead and antimony was elevated in children.
