Abstract

The Al, Na, Mn, Cl and Mg contents of human head-hair samples were determined by irradiating the samples in a thermal reactor and measuring their γ-activity by scintillation techniques. The concentration variations of these elements in hair samples originating from the same and different persons were studied.
