THE <br />CHEMICAL COMPONENTS <br />OF CREMATED REMAINS <br />rneu !'6D <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN <br />The results provided, with the exception of Phosphate and Sulfate, are presented as the <br />element. However, in the body these elements are present as apart of a variety of organic <br />and inorganic compounds. Upon cremation, most of the organic compounds are <br />converted to the metal oxide. Depending on the conditions of cremation, some may also <br />be converted to carbonates. The inorganic compounds may remain as phosphates, <br />sulfates, chlorides or carbonates, or may be partially converted to oxides. The carbon <br />from the carbonates and the oxygen from the oxides and carbonates are not included in <br />the date presented. Those elements are not determined by the testing procedures used for <br />this report. <br />The precision of the testing procedure used is +/ -10% of the reported value, i.e. <br />Phosphate reported as 47.5% may be 42.8 to 52.2% <br />LL ru <br />TEI Analytical, Inc. <br />THE <br />CHEMICAL COMPONENTS <br />OF CREMATED REMAINS <br />rneu !'6D <br />CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IN <br />The results provided, with the exception of Phosphate and Sulfate, are presented as the <br />element.
