Study Of Trace Elements In Hair From A Selected Male Population In Penang And Fallujah Using Xrf

The state of Penang encompasses an industrial region with a potential for the existence of a variety of industrial pollutants which would certainly have a possible impact on the environment and the people. Similarly, the city of Fallujah in Iraq has been exposed to a lot of toxic materials in the fo...
