Sažetak
Abstract The role of analytical chemistry in anthropology is becoming increasingly important due to the major developments in analytical instrumentations and softwares. Instrumental methods for chemical analysis of organic and inorganic, known and unknown substances are providing additional information to enrich anthropological knowledge on a variety of subjects. Nutrition and environmental exposure to various chemical compounds or elements are in the focus of our interest. Analytical chemistry is an important tier of environmental protection and has been traditionally linked to compliance and/or exposure monitoring activities for environmental contaminants. Specific techniques discussed include stable association liquid chromatography electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), direct sample analyses coupled with time of flight (DSA-TOF) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determinate teratogenic, genotoxic, mutagen and carcinogen substances. Specific analytes include rare and toxic metals, metalloids and nanoparticles, pesticides, mycotoxines, other toxic organic compounds (benzene, naphthalene, benzo(a)pyrene, phtalates, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins and furans, etc.
