According to these researchers, Napoleon's body was already heavily contaminated with arsenic as a boy, and the high arsenic concentration in his hair was not caused by intentional poisoning; people were constantly exposed to arsenic from glues and dyes throughout their lives.
Podľa tejto štúdie bolo Napoleonovo telo ťažko kontaminované arzénom už v čase, keď bol chlapec a vysoká hladina arzénu v jeho vlasoch nebola spôsobená cielenou otravou; ľudia v tom čase boli trvalo vystavení arzénu z lepidiel a farieb.
