  • 18 Accesses

Abstract

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA, a chelating agent with a high stability constant for lead, is commonly used for the diagnosis and treatment of pad poisoningl,2; but EDTA has also a very high stability constant for zinc and is therefore expected to bind and remove this essential trace element. In the present study the zinc loss during the use of conventional doses of EDTA for lead poisoning was determined.
