Abstrakt: SUMMARY Neutron activation analysis has been successfully used to assess whether a chelation process had been efficient in removing arsenic from a person who had been poisoned. Tissue punch biopsy samples were analysed, using a low flux neutron source to activate the samples, and a gamma ray spectrometer to count the induced activity. The method is simple to apply, considerably more convenient than the standard arsine method usually employed, and more rapid than awaiting growth of hair and nails. In addition, since the method is non-destructive, the sample can be reanalysed at a later date. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
