Hair as a Bioresource in Archaeological Chemistry

No / This authoritative book combines contributions from experts in academic, governmental and industrial environments, to provide a unique, comprehensive look at:

- Why hair can serve as an invaluable bio-resource in toxicology, with up-to-date reviews on hair growth, hair fibre formation and hair pigmentation
- Information (including regulatory details) on the exposure of hair (and by extension the body) to drug and non-drug chemicals and pollutants
- Toxicological issues relevant to the use of hair products (including colourants, shampoos and depilatories)
- The ability of hair to capture information on personal identity, chemical exposure, and environmental interactions
- How hair can provide an understanding of human life from archaeological and historical perspectives
- Future direction in the use of hair in toxicology

Hair in Toxicology: An Important Biomonitor is ideal as a reference and guide to investigations in the biomedical, biochemical and pharmaceutical sciences at the graduate and post graduate level.
