Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal Toxicants in Hair Oils
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The hair oils were analyzed for heavy metal poisoning using Double Beam UV-Visible spectrophotometer and AAS. The hair oils were procured from the market and analyzed for heavy metals viz. Pb, Cu, Fe, Ni, Cr, Zn and Mn. It was reported that the concentration of lead, nickel and manganese exceeded the maximum permissible limits as specified by the various governing authorities and was found to be in the order, Zn> Ni >Mn> Cr >Cu >Fe >Pb. The concentration of lead, nickel and manganese in the hair oils was found to be very alarming which requires a high alert by the public as well as the government in order to prevent the common people from the ill effects of the heavy metal toxicity.
