Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This study investigated seven potentially toxic elements (PTEs) (Cd, Cr, As, Hg, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in human scalp hair (n = 100) from random residents near a renowned polymetallic mining area in southwest China. Concentrations ranged from 0.002–0.610 µg/g (Cd), 0.000–0.558 (Cr), 0.050–5.490 (As), 0.071–2.750 (Hg), 3.150–27.200 (Cu), 0.000–804.000 (Pb), and 78.700–1360.000 (Zn). Levels of...
