Abstract

This article explains the application of a few nuclear and non nuclearanalytical techniques to determine a number of toxic and essential trace elementsin human daily intakes. The diets are the food patterns of different populationof Iranian provinces with different food habits.In this article a comparisonhas been made for mineral micronutrient intaken by the different populationvia the pattern of nutrients in their daily diets. In the meantime resultingoutcome from different analytical techniques including instrumental and radiochemicalneutron activation analysis have been compared and discussed.
