Element concentrations of hair from normal and mercury polluted persons
- 1. Academia Sinica, Shanghai, SH (China). Shanghai Inst. of Nuclear Research
Description
Ten macro and trace elements were determined in the hair of GuiZhou and XinHuang mercury mine workers and children living near the mine by INAA and AFS. Comparative studies demonstrated that concentrations of certain elements were greater than those corresponding to the nonexposed population. The hair mercury contents of normal adults and children were 1.1 and 1.37 μg g-1 respectively. Workers and children living in the polluted area show a mercury level range of 3.52-317 and 1.50-34.7 μg g-1, respectively. (author) 6 refs.; 1 fig.; 2 tabs
