X-ray
X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
X-ray fluorescence
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is the emission of characteristic "secondary" (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by being bombarded with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays.
See Lead poisoning and X-ray fluorescence

Zinc
Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30.
Zinc deficiency
Zinc deficiency is defined either as insufficient zinc to meet the needs of the body, or as a serum zinc level below the normal range.
See Lead poisoning and Zinc deficiency
Zinc protoporphyrin
Zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) refers to coordination complexes of zinc and protoporphyrin IX.
