| Abstract: | Many different heavy metals, such as cobalt, iron,
lead, manganese, mercury, platinum, selenium, cadmium,
titanium and zinc exist in environment in different forms. These
metals can be toxic to living things at certain levels. Although
they occur naturally, they come from many different sources.
Heavy metals in cigarette tobacco may cause a serious damage on
human health. Surveys showed that the accumulation of certain
toxic heavy metals like cadmium, mercury, iron is very often due
to the effect of smoking. This work was the clinical trial of 15
volunteers in two randomly divided groups (A & B) having the
habit of cigarette smoking over 15 cigarettes / day and the
reduction in increased concentration level of iron in blood and
urine after using Cystus-Sud (Cistus incanus ssp. tauricus) is
analyzed. Determination of Iron concentration in blood and urine
was calculated by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission
Spectrometry (ICP-AES) according to the procedure DIN EN
ISO 11885 (“E22” from April 1998). The analysis shown that the
concentration of iron in blood and urine samples with in both
groups (A & B) increased in some volunteers instead of decrease
and also reduced in some participants after using Cystus-Sud.
The results are suggested that Cystus-Sud does have significant
influence on reduction of iron concentration levels. |
