and drinks water, the ratio of the water isotopes in the body differs in each
fragment of the hair and nail.

SIRMS is the new technique used for the analysis of the relative abundance

of isotopes. Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectroscopy technology is able
to find the relative isotopes concerning their geographical condition. The

comparison of the ratio of stable isotopes in water from different regions
gives different peaks in SIRMS. This can be compared with the ratio of the

stable isotopes in a species body to find the location of those species.
