Abstract

Determination of selenium in human hair by GFAAS has been described in this paper, Hairs from 120 middle school teachers were determined. The results are 0.15-1.00 mg/kg and the median is 0.43 mg/kg. The sensitivity of this method is 2.96 ng/mL and the relative standard deviation is 2.4%-6.7%.
