Abstract We describe procedures for direct determination of lead and cadmium in blood and urine by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Before analysis, the samples are pre-ashed in microboats in an ordinary laboratory oven. In this way, many samples can be prepared and pre-ashed simultaneously. We find the procedures presented in this work to be rapid, accurate, and precise.

Abstract Studies have been made on the instrumental parameters affecting the performance of the solution-reduction and the thermal-volatilization techniques of flameless atomic absorption for mercury. Optimum conditions established for the solution-reduction technique were: gas flow 5 L/min, stirring time 100 sec, and stirring rate at least 1250 rpm. Optimum conditions for the thermal-volatilization technique were: flow rate 1.5 L/min, heating time 20 sec. The 2 techniques are compared.

Abstract This paper describes a simple, rapid modification of a method developed at the Fisheries Research Board of Canada for determining mercury in fish and other food products. Wet digestion and flameless techniques of atomic absorption spectrophotometry are used. Replicate analyses on different days showed good precision and samples spiked with known amounts of mercury showed adequate recovery.
