Abstract Food samples are dry ashed at 500 ± 50°C with a 10% aqueous K2SO4 solution used as an ashing aid. The ashed sample is dissolved in 50 mL 2% HNO3. Anodic stripping voltammetry is used to determine lead and cadmium in a mixture of the sample solution and an acetate electrolyte at pH 4.3 ± 0.3. The estimated quantitation limits, based on a 10 g food sample, are 0.005 ppm for cadmium and 0.010 ppm for lead.

Abstract A method is described for the simultaneous determination of ultratrace levels of lead and cadmium in selected agricultural crop samples by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. Samples are dry ashed at high temperature with H2SO4 as an ashing aid. Techniques are described to control the lead and cadmium blank levels of 2 ng and 0.4 ng, respectively. Typical relative standard deviations for the crop analyses are 13% at 100 ng/g and 25% at 10 ng/g for lead, and 5% at 100 ng/g and 10% at 10 ng/g for cadmium. The lowest quantifiable level, based on 3 g dry sample, is 2 ng/g for lead and 1 ng/g for cadmium. Recovery studies, precision studies, and analyses of NBS Standard Reference Materials demonstrate the accuracy and reproducibility of this technique. A summary of results for over 1700 crop samples is reported.
