Popis: Serum (200.6±64.8 mg/dl) and urinary zinc (1186.0±265.5 mg/l.) of zinc miners at Zawar were significantly higher as compared to zinc smelter workers (Serum 89.7±9.9. mg/dl; Urine 590.0±32.1 mg/l.). Debari and Udaipur residents (Serum 104.0±18.6 mg/dl; Urine 735.0±180.2 mg/l.). This was most likely attributable to higher dietary zinc intake by zinc miners due to higher zinc content of foodstuffs grown in Zawar areas as compared to Debari and Udaipur.
