Efficacy of hair analysis for monitoring exposure to uranium: A mini-review

Autor: Agnes Šömen Joksić, Sidney A. Katz

Publikováno v: Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A. 49:1578-1587

In spite of the ease with which samples may be collected and the stability of the samples after collection, the use of hair mineral analysis for monitoring environmental exposures and evaluating heavy metal poisonings has remained controversial since
