Medicine | Chemical and mineral elements that exist in minimal(oligo)quantities in the body, in foods, in the air, in soil ; name applied to any element observed as a microconstituent of plant or animal tissue and of beneficial, harmful or even doubtful significance. Source: European Union. (references) |
| Substance or element essential to plant or animal life, but present in extremely small amounts. Source: European Union. (references) | |
Metallurgy | A chemical element such as zinc, boron, copper etc. found compound in minute quantities in the metal. As a rule is not estimated quantitatively but likely to affect extensively some properties of the metal. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | A. An element that is not essential in a mineral, but that is found in small quantities in its structure or adsorbed on its surfaces. Although not quantitatively defined, it is conventionally assumed to constitute significantly less than 1.0% of the mineral. Syn:accessory element; guest element b. An element that occurs in minute quantities in plant or animal tissue and that is essential physiologically. Syn:minor element; microelemen. (references) |
