| Abstract: | Mercury in scalp hair of 135 individuals (65 males, 70 females) between the ages of 6 and 61 residing in Cumaná, Venezuela, were determined by cold vapour atomic absorption. The average hair mercury content was 2.01 ± 0.51 ppm, with a range of 0.42–6.08 ppm. The differences in the distribution of Hg in the hair of male and female subjects were insignificant. Hair mercury content was not correlated with age. |
