Abstract:
Arguments about whether or not scalp hair should be washed prior to an analysis have not reached any suitable conclusion. The following work was intended to resolve this argument and indicate a suitable procedure with regard to washing. Cigarettes spiked with cadmium were used to contaminate hair in an attempt to show whether or not the cadmium in hair was exogeneous (unbound) or endogeneous (bound).
