The levels of elements in hair and nail usually reflect their levels in other tissues of body. Niska Banja, a spa town located in Southern Serbia, being identified as high natural background radiation area was selected for the study. To assess public exposure to metals, hair and nail samples were collected to analyze the concentration of uranium, thorium and some trace and toxic elements such as Mn, Ni, Cu, Sr, Cd, and Cs using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. U and Th concentrations in hair varied from 0.0002 to 0.0771 μg/g and from 0.0002 to 0.0276 μg/g, respectively. The concentration in nail varied from 0.0025 to 0.0447 μg/g and from 0.0023 to 0.0564 μg/g, for U and Th, respectively. Also for other metals’ concentrations in hair there was a large variation, which may be due to different geological origin and anthropogenic activities., Second East European Radon Symposium(SEERAS)への参加、及び「Distribution of Uranium and Thorium in Human hair and nail among residents of Niska Banja spa a high natural background radiation area of Serbia (Balkan Region - continental Europe)」についての発表。}, title = {Distribution of Uranium and Thorium in Human hair and nail among residents of Niska Banja spa a high natural background radiation area of Serbia (Balkan Region - continental Europe)}, year = {2014} }
