Hair analysis is used in assessment of the body mineral status, and environmental or occupational exposures. This study was undertaken to compare the elements concentrations [calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd)] in hair from 995 persons taken in the years 2007-2010. The measurements were performed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The average values for concentrations were as follows (in ?g/g): Ca - 414, Mg - 19, Zn - 160, Cu - 13, Fe - 10, Pb - 1.0, Cd - 0.07. The contents of Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu were statistically higher in the hair of females in comparison with males and the concentrations of Pb and Cd were lower. Significant correlations were found to exist between age of volunteers and the amounts of Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe and Pb. Both in case of correlations between age and elements contents and the correlating metals pairs, the variations between females and males hair were stated.

Włosy, krew i mocz są wykorzystywane w ocenie stanu pierwiastkowego organizmu oraz środowiskowej i zawodowej na nie ekspozycji. Niniejsza praca została podjęta w celu określenia zawartości pierwiastków i metali ciężkich we włosach kobiet i mężczyzn (995 osób). Włosy pobierano w latach 2007-2010. Oznaczono zawartość takich pierwiastków, jak: Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb i Cd. Średnie stężenie pierwiastków (?g/g) w badanych próbkach włosów było następujące: Ca - 414, Mg - 19, Zn - 160, Cu - 13, Fe - 10, Pb - 1.0, Cd - 0.07. W badaniach zastosowano metodę spektrometrii absorpcji atomowej. Stwierdzono istotne różnice w zawartości pierwiastków we włosach kobiet i mężczyzn, a także znamienne korelacje między zawartością pierwiastków i wiekiem badanych osób.
