Study from the Environmental Office of Yogyakarta, indicates in Kotagede found the pollution of mercury from the environment because of improper disposal of wastewater. This study aims to assess the levels of mercury, creatinine and urea in the serum and urine of people working in several industries in Kotagede and Banguntapan. Subjects of this study were 52 employees in several industries in Kotagede Yogyakarta with a range of ages between 20 - 71 years and length of work between 3 - 38 years. A total of 42 people with the age range was 21 - 63 years and the length of work between 1 - 20 years were taken from industrial employees in Bantul who have almost the same geographical conditions as Kotagede. Determination of mercury levels using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method while the determination of urea and creatinine levels by a Dyasis kit. In Kotagede, there were 3 people (5.8%) with the average mercury serum of 0.217 ppb and no mercury in the urine was found in all subjects. In Banguntapan, one person (2.4%) had 0.200 ppb mercury serum and 6 people (14.3%) had an average mercury urine level of 0.395 ppb. Urine creatinine and urea levels in subjects from Kotagede were higher than those from Banguntapan (p<0.05), despite being on the normal range. The presence of mercury in several industrial employees in Kotagede and Banguntapan is still on the low range even though it was correlated to creatinine levels.

Abstract The determination of serum iron has been shown to be feasible by the use of a modified single-beam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The effect of interfering substances is eliminated by the use of standards prepared in physiological concentrations of protein. Average percentage recovery of added iron was 97.9 with an over-all coefficient of variation of 1.6%. Disparities between samples due to the effect of unequal viscosities and flow rates were overcome by the integration of the record curve generated by a measured volume of sample. Comparison between the method presented and a colorimetric procedure gave a higher mean value and normal range for plasma quantitated by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

Abstract An atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) method was collaboratively studied by 8 laboratories from Africa, the United States, Australia, and Europe. The samples were dispersed in deionized water. After centrifuging and filtering, the water-soluble copper in the filtrate was acidified and measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, in an airacetylene flame, at 324.7 nm. The results from 7 laboratories were satisfactory and no unfavorable comments were received. Repeatability standard deviations ranged from 0.005 to 0.023, and reproducibility standard deviations ranged from 0.012 to 0.062. When compared with the bathocuproine method, the difference in bias between both methods is not significant. They were both adopted as full CIPAC methods, with the bathocuproine method as the referee method. Both methods have been adopted official first action.

Abstract The atomic absorption method studied last year was re-examined and extended to include calcium and sodium. The procedures were submitted to 16 collaborators for determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, and Zn. Results for Ca and Na were discouraging; further study is recommended.

Abstract The official first action AOAC method for the spectrophotometric determination of biuret in urea, 2.072—2.074, was compared with official first action AOAC method 2.C01-2.C03 (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), 2 simplified versions of 2.072-2.074, and modified versions of 2 alternative procedures of the International Organization for Standardization. Three synthetic urea samples (0.3, 1.4, and 3.0% biuret) and 1 commercial urea sample (1.0% biuret) were analyzed. The methods proved to be equivalent and none showed a definite advantage over 2.072-2.074. The purification of biuret and the interference by ammonia are also discussed.
