- Abstract
The article presents a study on the concentrations of lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd) in human fingernails. The study employs atomic absorption spectrophotometry for the determination of metals Cd, Zn, and Pb. The study reveals that difference in levels of Zn in nails between the winter and spring seasons can be attributed to seasonal difference of Zn dieatary intake.
