Segmental hair analysis for cocaine and heroin abuse determination.
Segmental hair analysis was performed to obtain information about the history of drug abuse of subjects in a rehabilitation programme. The analytical data from hair samples were correlated, when possible, with urine analysis and to toxicological anamnesis. Toxicological analysis of hair seems to be a valid tool in this specific field.
