Can anyone indicate what is the elemental composition of an average human
being. I assume the principal elements are Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen and
Hydrogen and traces of mineral salt elements. But I do not know in what
percents. I assume the highest would be O since we are made mainly of
water (H2O). Would someone have numbers on that or be able to indicate
where I could find them. Thank you.
Anthony.
