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.

A flameless atomic absorption technique, employing a tantalum strip atomizer, has been developed to determine barium and antimony in gunshot residue. Cotton swabs, wetted with 5% HNO3, are used to collect residue. Barium and antimony are released from the swabs by acid leaching or plasma ashing. Both techniques give good recoveries; the ashing technique is preferred for blood-stained swabs. The sensitivity for barium is 0.1 ng/10 µl and antimony 0.2 ng/10 µl. At nanogram levels the standard relative deviation for barium is 8.3% and for antimony 8.5%.
