Samples of head hair, fingernails, and toenails were taken from 61 dental students and faculty members. The mercury levels were analyzed using a simple neutron activation analysis technique which proved to be easily applicable to large numbers. Significant results were found for the head hair and fingernail groups. There may be a correlation between the higher mercury levels and increased pressure of work, which might result in decreased standards of mercury hygiene.
