“…They were not, however, able to quantify the results, partly because of the difficulty in determining the mass of the hair being irradiated (effective mass) and of correcting for x-ray attenuation in the sample. In this article we report an extension of a mass determination technique which was previously published (Zeitz 1969, Kubo et a1 1978, Kubo and Smythe 1979 on the quantitative analysis of trace elements in hair.…”

A simple X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis method has been developed for the determination of trace element concentrations in hair. It utilises strands of hair which are dropped on a Formvar foil and irradiated in an X-ray beam. The effective sample mass was estimated by measuring scattered X-ray photons. The attenuation correction for the X-rays from light elements was estimated using a simple model. Results are in agreement with those obtained by the atomic absorption method.
