The use of hydride generation is often useful in environmental analysis. The normal acid sodium tetrahydroborate reaction provides exceptional sensitivity with continuous flow hydride generators. In some situations there are interferences which will mask the sensitivity. An alternative chemistry system is described here and is shown to offer similar sensitivity to that normally used. A commercial continuous flow analyser is used in this work.

Abstract I describe a micro-scale method for determining lead in whole blood by utilizing a graphite furnace. Sample pretreatment consists of fivefold dilution with a dilute surfactant. The method is directly calibrated with lead standards prepared in dilute HNO3. To eliminate a small, nonspecific absorption signal from the blood matrix, simultaneous background correction is used. Interlaboratory comparison with a flame atomic absorption technique that requires extraction yielded high correlation (r = 0.98). Within-run precision (coefficient of variation) ranged from 2 to 4%. Lead in blood can be accurately measured in as little as 20 µl of blood, hence the method is suitable for routine laboratory use and for pediatric screening.
