“Base line” data were collected for six trace metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn and Cu) by studying their concentrations in scalp hair of agricultural workers in an area with no industry and inexistent air pollution. A random sample of 144 workers (75 males and 69 females – aged 50 years or more) was selected from the Civil Registry of communities of N.W. Peloponnese. Bulk hair samples were collected and the six metals concentrations were determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Arithmetic means of concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn και Cu were 0.31, 4.40, 0.85, 0.73, 182.50 and 10.48 mg/gr respectively for males and 0.19, 3.84, 1.19, 0.73, 187.50 and 10.61 mg/gr respectively for females. Statistically significant (p<0.05) sex differences were observed for cadmum and nickel. High positive correlations were observed between Pb, Cr and Cu. High negative correlations were observed between Cd and Zn.
