Lead exposure in Saudi Arabia from the use of traditional cosmetics and medical remedies.

I A Ai-Saleh1, L Coate.   

Abstract

Twenty Henna samples were collected and analysed for lead by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry after a microwave acid digestion procedure. The mean lead concentration was 5.50 μg g(-1), with a range from 1.29 μg g(-1) to 16.48 μg g(-1). The data did not show a high concentration of lead in these samples. However, if we take into account the popular use of henna, the cumulative effects of prolonged exposure to low lead especially in children cannot be ruled out.
