The aim of this study was to evaluate the total mercury in hair samples of miners in Abu hammed (indiscriminate mining area) city using Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA). Thirty samples were collected from different locations. Locations are divided depending on which type of work was done. Direct Mercury Analyzer (DMA) was used to determine the mercury in hair samples. The results show that the mean elemental concentration of Hg were 9.4 and 24 ppb in location one and location 2, respectively and standard division of value of 15 and 21 ppb in location one and location 2, respectively
