Comparison of (a) Ca, (b) Cd, and (c) Pb concentrations in the TCLs of 40 patients with CTS measured by XRF (red column) and ICP-MS (blue column) techniques. The concentrations were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test, and different letters on the bars indicate a significant difference in the concentrations between the techniques. Error bars are the standard error of the mean.
