Abstract
The zinc content in the hair of 654 children living in various rural a nd industrial areas in southern Poland was assayed by means of the ato mic absorption spectrometry, following the dry digestion procedure. Th e hair of girls exhibited statistically significant higher level of Zn than the boys' hair, although in the site of extremal Zn contaminatio n, the inverse relation was found.
