ABSTRACT
In this study, aluminum and cadmium concentrations were determined in maternal and umbilical cord blood from urban and rural areas [n = 20 in each group] in Assiut Governorate. The present results showed that the level of aluminum in maternal and umbilical cord blood was highly statistically significant in both urban and rural areas. However, its concentration was higher in rural area in both maternal and cord blood and the maternal blood aluminum was highly statistically significant when comparing rural and urban areas. The cadmium in maternal and umbilical cord blood was highly statistically significant in both urban and rural areas. However, the cord blood level of cadmium was statistically significant when comparing between rural and urban and cadmium level was higher in urban areas
