Worldwide, drug exposure in utero and in early childhood is a well-known major health issue. Hair analysis, taking into consideration its wide detection window, represents the most suitable investigative tool for these conditions. In this particular field, hair analysis of the parents, in addition to that of children, looks also important. The present study shows the results from 36 cases of suspected drug exposure in utero or in early childhood in which hair analysis of newborns/children and/or of parents has been carried.
