Description

Related to the programme based on Nuclear Methods for Health-Related Monitoring of Trace Element Pollutants in Man initiated by I.A.E.A. in 1978, our laboratory (L.A.R.N.) has developed and optimized samples preparation techniques for hair analysis without dissolution and preconcentration or chemical separation, and PIXE non vacuum technique for measurement of biological samples such as liquids. The results obtained at L.A.R.N. have been compared with results obtained by the other techniques, and it is found that PIXE can be used with reliability to analyse in a short time a lot of biological samples.
