Von der hinteren Coverseite

In the 1960s and 1970s, hair analysis was used to evaluate exposure to toxic heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, or mercury. Simultaneously in the U.S. and West Germany, it was possible to denominate various organic drugs my means of radioimmunoassay (RIA) at the beginning of the 1980s. Generally, the courts of justice only recognize the results of chemical-toxicological analyses when they are confirmed by a second independent method. For this reason, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry is now the method of choice for hair analysis.
