The Inorganic Toxicology and Nutrition Branch conducts research, method development, and analyses related to physiologic levels of micronutrients, such as vitamin A and iodine, and other dietary substances or their metabolites. The branch serves as the central laboratory for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In addition, the branch conducts research, develops methods and performs analyses related to so-called "heavy" metals, such as mercury (total and inorganic), arsenic (total and speciated), cadmium, lead, cobalt, uranium, tungsten, molybdenum, and antimony.
