title: Studies on lead pollution: atomic absorption spectrophotometric determination of lead in hair and teeth samples.
abstract: A simple, rapid and reliable method for the determination of lead in hair and teeth samples has been described. The method incorporates digestion of the samples by nitric acid followed by atomic absorption spectrophotometric determination of lead using 283.3 nm wavelength.
