Abstract: Zinc is an important element in human metabolism. It is absorbed in intestine and binds to plasma proteins. It is abundantly used in various types of industries. The workers exposed to this metal in their work environment take up this metal via respiration, ingestion and absorption through exposed parts of the skin. In this investigation the assessment of Zinc in human body is done by using biological tissues like hair and nail. The proteins in the tissues bind with the metal. The tissues are wet acid digested and converted into water clear solution. The analysis is affected...
