Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis of Human Hair and Related Radiotracer Experiments on Washing and Leaching

摘要

The work done under the IAEA-contract 2440/RB is summarized. The aim was to develop a fast and reliable system for the determination of trace elements in human head hair by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and radiotracer washing experiments. The standardized procedure for INAA was applied to hair samples collected by the Coronel Laboratory of the University of Amsterdam. The correlation between trace element contents is considered.
