Heavy metals in Human Scalp Hair using AAS and X-ray Fluorescence

Researches centered around human life are quite significant as they are the architectural species within the closed system called the universe.Human environment has been a reservoir for heavy metal contamination which is also a determinant for individual's life history, kind of food intake and sanitary habits, which over time permeates into the hair. Hair, as a biological measurement matrix is a good index for heavy metal bio-accumulation as they are retained cumulatively over a long time as compared to the transient retention in similar indices like blood and urine. The research is therefore precipitated upon this premises.
