Hair and/or nail analyses are sometimes used in biomonitoring studies due to the convenience of sample collection, storage, and transport, as well as the potential to assess past exposures to toxic metals, such as lead (Pb).

The aim of this study was to examine the uptake of Pb into horns harvested postmortem from 11 goats that received a cumulative oral dose of up to 151 g Pb acetate over a period of 1-11 years as
