Hernández Sara Espinosa Raúl Belmont Armando Báez Ciencias de la Tierra teeth third molars impacted molars teeth lead concentrations Lead levels in 56 whole impacted third molars of 15-28 years old people living in Mexico Citywere determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Samples were classifiedby tooth position, age, and gender. Third molar concentrations showed a nearly lognormaldistribution, therefore a non-parametric statistic was applied to estimate if there weresignificant differences among the mentioned variables and lead concentration. The geometricmean concentration ( X g) for all third molars was 4.21 ± 1.74 µg g-1, having mandibular molarshigher concentrations ( X g = 4.53 ± 1.62 µg g-1) than maxillary molars ( X g = 3.87 ± 1.86 µg g-1),however, no significant differences were found between them. The molars of the oldest donors presented the highest lead geometric mean concentration ( X g = 5.81 µg g-1). Females´ molarshad higher levels than males´ molars, with no significant differences between them. 2002 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37018203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.2 Vol.18
