“…Finally, only a limited number of reported studies have published trace element data for healthy individuals or disease groups in Iraq, especially for large populations, such as, Karbala [26]. A few studies have reported the trace element levels in human scalp hair of cases in Karbala, including arsenic in relation to the influence of groundwaters [27], heavy metals in water, sediments and fish [28] and minor elements in human scalp hair [29] using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry or ICP-OES.…”

“…Also, there was no signi cant relationship with the gender of the children (Molina-Villalba et al, 2015). A study in Iraq (Karbala) in 2016 shows that the concentration of arsenic in men is signi cantly higher than in women (Baker et al, 2016). Therefore, in some studies, the relationship between the concentration of arsenic in drinking water and its bioaccumulation in consumers' hair has been reported to be signi cant.…”

“…The result is the highest correlation in women and the lowest correlation in male smokers. A study conducted on the population of Pakistan between 2008-2012 and Iraq (Karbala) in 2016 shows a signi cant difference between the concentration of arsenic in the hair of smokers and non-smokers (Baker et al, 2016;Rehman et al, 2020).…”

Drinking water is one of the most important sources of arsenic entering the human body. Due to the location of Urmia County in the volcanic belt of Urmia-Dokhtar, the presence of arsenic in the drinking water of the villages of Urmia city is probable. The concentration of arsenic in the drinking water of the villages varied from undetectable amounts to 92 µg/L. In 7 out of 80 villages, the concentration of arsenic was higher than the drinking water standards of WHO. There is no statistically significant difference between the concentration of arsenic in the drinking water of the villages of Urmia County in different seasons. There is a significant relationship between the concentration of arsenic in drinking water and its concentration in the hair of people living in villages (r=0.88, P-value=0.046). There is a strong and significant correlation between age and the average concentration of arsenic in the hair of the age groups of the population. Also, smoking creates a statistically significant difference between the concentration of arsenic in the hair of smoking men and non-smoking men. The reason for the existence of a significant difference in the amount of arsenic in the hair of the residents of the case and control villages, and the presence of a high concentration of arsenic in the bottom sediments of Lake Urmia, can be concluded that the possibility the entry of arsenic from the geological formations of the region into the drinking water of the villages is very high.

“…Specifically in disease, the levels of elements in the body may not be optimal and indirectly affect hair growth and hence hair structure. Besides the aforementioned variables, gender and age, ethnicity, and genetic polymorphisms may also influence the structure of hair and hence its ability to retain elements [14,[38][39][40]. For example with ethnicity, the structure, shape, and melanin levels of hair from different races may affect permeability and hence elemental levels within hair [14,41].…”

Elements play an imperative role in the physiological and metabolic processes of the human body. When elemental levels deviate from physiologically accepted levels due to for example poor nutrition, the body's intricate elemental and metabolic balance is disturbed. Over time, disease may develop as a result of elemental dyshomeostasis or alternatively, disease may trigger elemental dyshomeostasis as an adaptive metabolic response to an unhealthy environment. There is now a growing interest in screening human tissue to identify and quantify elemental changes as biomarkers of disease or alternatively, as outcomes of disease. The unique properties of human hair brand it the ideal substrate for the quantitative identification of elements in the body. Hair bioaccumulates elements, provides a historical overview of elemental status depending on length, and is easy and economical to sample and store. The fundamental outcome and application of hair elemental screening, however, are strongly influenced by a range of factors, including choice of analytical method. This chapter will provide a background summary of ion beam and synchrotron radiation techniques and its diverse applications for unraveling the elemental signature of hair in various fields.
