✦ Synopsis

Human autopsy tissues from five patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who had been treated with aqueous solutions of gold and from an untreated control cadaver with the same disease, were analysed by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry using a conventional Si(Li) detection system. The gold and zinc concentrations of tissues were determined and compared to some results available in the literature. Correlation has been found between Zn and Au concentrations in heart, lung, kidney and liver tissues.

For assessing the purity of gold used in jewellery an attempt has been made to use a low cost non-destructive x-ray fluorescence technique employing a ~°gCd x-ray source, a proportional counter and a pair of balanced filters for copper which is the impurity element added to gold in Bangladesh. Matri
