Determination of arsenic and lead in single hair strands by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop matrix-matched hair standards and a LA-ICP-MS technique for determination of the As and Pb in a single human hair using single spot scan mode. These results could subsequently be used to infer when the element entered the body. This study was conduct...
