Introduction – The Compelling Tangle of Energy and American Society
Benjamin K. Sovacool; Marilyn A. Brown
Human nails are extensively employed for monitoring exposure to excessive levels of elements. Nails can be studied easily and economically in subjects of residential areas and industrial workers and patients, and sometimes may indicate that high concentrations of elements are related to various illnesses. Deficiency of certain elements (Se and Fe) can also be determined with use of nails of subjects with specific or unknown deficiencies. Although nails are different from other biological samples in bioaccumulation, physiological activities may be partially due to chemical properties of the elements. Comparison of multielements between nails and other samples is relevant and found significant, because of the status of chronic exposure to high levels of elements. However, comparison of multielements between nails and other samples results in inconsistencies when exposure to elements is acute or unpredictable, or the subject is deficient in the elements being measured. Studies associated with elemental speciation, supplementation, interaction, and deficiency of essential elements (Zn, Cu, Mn, Mo,etc.), although rarely available, may enhance the growing use of nails. In many other research fields nail levels of elements and other associated factors or parameters are being investigated for further expansion of their application.
