    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Materials Science
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Hair color changes can be influenced by environmental exposures.
    • Metal ion accumulation in hair is a known phenomenon.

    Observation:

    • A young woman experienced green discoloration of her blond hair.
    • Exposure to tap water was identified as the source of the discoloration.

    Findings:

    • High copper concentrations (3,000-5,000 ppm) were detected in the hair.
    • Copper was primarily adsorbed to the peripheral region of the hair shaft.

    Implications:

    • Tap water quality can impact personal aesthetics and hair health.
    • Understanding metal adsorption mechanisms is crucial for preventing hair damage.
