Confusion exists about the chromium and cobalt concentrations in the serum of healthy individuals. We determined these elements by neutron activation analysis. The samples were irradiated during 12 days at a flux of approximately 10/sup 14/ neutrons . cm/sup -2/ . s/sup -1/. Chromium was selectively separated by distillation after the irradiation. We obtained the following values (mean +- standard deviation): 0.160 +- 0.083 ..mu..g/liter for chromium, and 0.108 +- 0.060 ..mu..g/liter for cobalt.
