Abstract
Abstract Lead is one of the most important and widely distributed pollutants in the environment, the major sources of lead is bathtubs (cast iron, porcelain, steel), batteries, dust, paints, pesticide industry and tetraethyl lead Pb ( C2H5 )4 as an antikoncking in petrol. Lead concentration was determined in (30) samples collected from hair and nails of electric generators workers, and (10) A.A.Al-Kuramy M.M.Al-rufaee Univ. of Babylon. Univ. of Kufa College of Science College of Science العذد الخبص ببحوث البيئة وبحوث المؤتمر العلمي لسنة 6002 83 samples as a control by using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The average of lead concentration was found to be (2.43 x 10-2 ppm) in hear and (2.02 x 10-2 ppm) in nails, the correlation factor between period time (year) and lead concentration was (r = 0.8131), (r = 0.0578) in hair and nails respectively and the period time was between (1 – 9) years at (8) hours (day).
