“…Since there are a few reports on non-washed hair element concentrations in the literature, the hair element concentrations after washing of the Gidra in total were estimated using the elimination rates and compared with the range of the average value in the literature from Japan, Canada, and the U.S.A. (Imahori et al, 1979;Takeuchi et al, 1982;Fukushima et al, 1982;Takagi et al, 1986;Moon et al, 1986) (Table IV). Concentrations of Al, Mn, and Fe in the Gidra hair were higher than the reported levels, while that of Zn was slightly lower.…”

Concentrations of 11 elements (Na, Mg, Al, P, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Sr) were measured in 505 hair samples collected in 1981 from four (northern, inland, riverine, and coastal) villages of the Gidra who inhabit the lowland of Papua New Guinea. To compare the dietary element intakes with the hair element concentrations, the elimination of elements from hair by washing was first examined. Elimination rates by washing markedly differed from element to element, and a linear relationship between dietary element intakes and hair element concentrations was found in the case of non-washed hair, but not in the case of washed hair. The comparability of hair element concentrations with dietary element intakes was different according to the villages, and for elements such as Na, Mg, Ca, Cu, and Sr, the difference was partly explained by the element levels in the water utilized in each village.
