Hair Analysis for Heavy Metal Poisoning

Analyzing clean hair for heavy metal poisoning provides a blueprint of exposure occurring during a specific period. It is the period of time it takes for hair to grow and develop. Take lead poisoning, for example, after a month or so it may no longer be detected in your blood. Why? Because lead is too harmful to allow it to stay in your blood, so your body will hide it away in the bone marrow. But the hair analysis for heavy metal poisoning can continue to show that exposure. In fact, the hair from the exposure period will always show the exposure. New hair growing in will only contain lead if you continue to be exposed to lead. Therefore, hair analysis for heavy metal poisoning gives you a nice blueprint of exposure.
