Epidemiological implications of environmental cadmium. I. The probable utility of human hair for occupational trace metal (cadmium) screening

Abstract
Some of the problems involved in the use of human hair sample as an indicator of trace metal exposure are discussed. The significant correlations of hair cadmium level with the respective kidney (r equals .52) and liver (r equals 0.36) levels in selected autopsies, and the fact that hair samples can distinguish between occupational and non-occupational exposure (t28 equals 4.88) in a New Jersey community are advanced as arguments in favor of hair sampling. The hair samples were washed with sodium lauryl sulphate, deionized water and acetone and then dried. All the samples were ashed at 450-500 degrees and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
