Arsenic levels in fingernails as a biological indicator of exposure to arsenic / Behnaz Agahian... [et al.]
Sumario: The analysis of urine, blood, and hair has been used previously to monitor occupational exposure to arsenic.

Air samples and fingernails clippings were obtained from individuals with no exposure and high, medium, and low exposure
