    Author: Nowak B.
    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 1996 Apr; 52(1):11-22. PubMed ID: 8860662.
    Abstract:
    Heavy metals in biological samples: nails, teeth, and hair were examined during 1991-1993. Investigations of biological samples (hair n = 249 samples, teeth n = 145, nails n = 80 samples) were provided for inhabitants of selected towns in Beskid Slaski. The towns are small mountain towns in southern Poland: Wista, Szczyrk, Istebna, Koniakow, and Jaworzynka. The analysis of ANOVA and MANOVA variances were used for biological samples in the context of age, sex, and type of samples for 12 elements (Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni, Co, Ca, Na, and K). The matrix correlation and cluster analysis were applied to explain the behavior of metals in human hair, teeth, and nails.
