Summary

The specific problems of sampling and sample preparation are presented here. The interpretation of sample comminution is discussed, the difficulties of the interpretation of hair analysis are pointed out, ending with consideration of the information available from hair analysis as opposed to that from the analysis of other types of sample and where its limits lie. The application and relevance of hair analysis in industrial medicine today is illustrated and discussed on the basis of several examples from clinical chemistry.
