Abstract
In the Egyptian society, it is usual until now that females wear extensively gold jewelry since their birth. The present work is carried out to determine gold content in scalp hair samples from some selected female donors of various ages. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, with gamma ray spectrometry was applied for this study. The obtained data are compared with the available published data for analysis of hair samples from other countries. The correlation between age and gold concentration in hair samples is discussed. Interpretation of the influence of other factors which possibly may affect the contents of gold in the analyzed hair samples is also presented.
