Concentrations of As, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Mn, Na, Sb, Se and, Zn were determined. Comparisons were made between the results obtained for dyed and non-dyed hair as well as for hair from females and males of two different age groups. The results were also compared with range values established by clinical laboratories and published data.53-57openAccesschemical analysischemical compositionelderly peoplehairneutron activation analysistrace amountsArtigo de periódico127610.1007/s10967-007-0409-5
