Role of the Element●Trace mineral/micromineral●Greatest amounts are found in suprarenal

glands, liver, brain, spleen, and thyroid gland●Plays a part in overall health and bodily

processes●Possible contribution to growth factors●Possible anti-cancer properties●Can decrease depression and fatigue

Overdose●Lead to tumors in lungs if too much is

inhaled●Can also lead to lung diseases●Can irritate skin, eyes, and respiratory systemDeficiency● In some animals (e.g. rats), deficiency of

tin contributes to poor growth and hearing loss

●No known problems for deficiency in humans
