Abstract
Analysis of hair from Napoleon showed that he was exposed to considerable amounts of arsenic during 1816. The distribution pattern of the arsenic in the hair is similar to that found after the daily ingestion of excessive amounts of arsenic. Die Analyse, die am Haar Napoleons vorgenommen wurde, hat nachgewiesen, daß er im Laufe des Jahres 1816 erheblichen Mengen von Arsen ausgesetzt war. Das Erscheinungsbild der Verteilung des Arsens gleicht demjenigen, das sich nach täglicher Einnahme übermäßiger Mengen von Arsen ergibt.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
