HMTAs are composed of a mixture of tungsten (9193%), nickel (35%) and either cobalt (24%) or iron (24%) particles which are increasingly adopted as the raw material to make parts of military products. 1H NMR spectroscopy based study has been conducted for identification of metabolite markers for tungsten alloy based heavy metals toxicity. Urine sample were collected at 8, 24, 72 and 120 h p.d. of low and high dose of tungsten alloy based heavy metals. Spectral Analysis exhibits impairment of energy metabolism which is suggestive of metabolic disturbances caused by tungsten alloy based heavy metals.
