As a continuation of chemical analysis in human hair carried out in different areas of Basrah Governorate during the years 2009 and 2010 by different researchers, this study was focused upon accumulation of other chemical elements: Barium (Ba), Berylium(Be), Bismoth(B), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Chlorine (Cl), Chromium (Cr), Lithium (Li), Manganese(Mn), Nickel (Ni), Phosphorous (P), Platinum 195 (Pt), Silicon (Si), Silver (Ag), Sulphur (S), and Vanadium (V) in human hair which were analyzed by adopting the instrument ICP/MS at Maxxam Analytical INC, Canada. Hair samples were collected from different volunteers with respect to sex and age of ordinary peoples. Sampling of human hair, treatment and Chemical elements were analyzed according to standard procedures. The results revealed that the C, S, Cl, P, and Si element showed the highest concentrations, other element showed low concentration, being the least for Pt, Ag, Li, and Be,while the rest of studied elements Ba, Mn, Ni, B, Cr, and elements concentration were higher in male than female. The presence of chemical elements in the hair of human being indicates that those elements are presence in the surrounding environmental area. Overall results show that studied chemical elements in human hair for subjects from Southern Iraq follows the trend C>> S>Cl>P>Si>Ba>Mn= Ni> B>Cr>Li>Bi>V>Ag>Be>Pt
