The content of Ba in human organs (μg/g).

Organ	Sample 2	Samples (1, 3–7)	Approximate ratio of values
Lung	5600	1.9–21	267–2950
Liver	130	<0.2–2.8	46->650
Muscle	110	≤0.3	≥367
Spleen	39	<0.3	>130
Kidney	3.5	<0.2–0.4	8.8->18
Heart	2.0	0.16–0.7	2.9–13

Barium concentration in 1–7 samples was determined by two-jet plasma atomic emission spectrometry; the relative standard deviation of the results from three replicates was within 3–8%. The data of two-jet plasma atomic emission spectrometry contained reliable peaks corresponding to some elements, but it was possible to estimate only their approximate concentration.
