Estimation Of Cd Heavy Metal Concentrations in Urine Samples of Cancer Patients in Babylon Governorate -Iraq

Abstract

In the current research, atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to determine the concentration of cadmium in urine sample of cancer patients and healthy group ,as the highest value of lead concentrations in urine samples is (0.7631±0.043) µg/l male, suffering cancer prostate returns to age of 91 years old from of Khatounia and the minimum concentration of cadmium in urine samples is (0.0107±0.002)µg/l, male, suffering cancer prostate returns age 80 years old From Gbalih and the average value of cadmium concentration in samples of urine for this group was found (0.2950±0.015)µg/l, the highest of cadmium concentration in urine sample healthy group was(0.2871±0.030)µg/l and lowest value was(0.0029±0.00 )µg/l in average value(0.0811±0.05)µg/l .The effect was studied by the concentration of cadmium according to age and smoking habit.
