| Research Abstract |
3600 hair samples of mothers and infants were collected at one-month and ten-month infant medical checkups in Fukuoka City. Trace elements in the hairs were measured using particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method. We compiled a database of the measured data and the medical checkup results. We found atopic dermatitis of infants is frequent when concentration of selenium in mother's hair is low. Relations were also found for Si, Mn, Br and Sr. We found possibility to apply PIXE
