Abstract: | Applying instrumental neutron activation analysis, multielement analysis of human hair was carried out to elucidate the levels
of various trace element concentrations in hair of local population in the Tokyo metropolitan area. 202 hair samples were
collected from the inhabitants classified by sex and five age groups. Using several combinations of irradiation time, cooling
time and counting time, forty elements were quantitatively analyzed. The method of analysis for data including samples under
detection limit is discussed, assuming that the frequanecy distribution of trace element contents in hair is log-normal. |
