Scalp hair as an indicator of environmental pollution in Malaysia
Description
The concentration of trace elements such as As, Br, Co, Cr, Fe, Hg, Sb, Se and Zn in the hair of the two population groups living in different regions of Malaysia were analysed by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. The results for all elements analysed, except mercury, do not differ significantly from reported values for other regions of the world. Mercury from the urban sample is about twice the concentration of the rural sample. (author)
