Abstract A method for identifying and quantifying tire-tread particles in the environment has been developed. It is based on the measurement of extractable organic zinc. The high sensitivity of atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with a heated graphite atomizer (HGA) permits assessment of submilligram amounts of tire debris in environmental samples. The analysis is performed on aerosol and soil samples. This new method is more accurate and faster than the previously reported IR method.

Sulphosalicylic Acid

The effect of sulphonated aromatic compounds on the atomization of molybdenum in acetylene-air and nitrous oxide-acetylene flames was studied. The absorbance signal is increased in the presence of these compounds only in acetylene-nitrous oxide flames and in the presence of potassium or sodium salts. Otherwise, the absorbance is decreased. The probable mechanism of the effect of sulphonated aromatic groups during the atomization of molybdenum is discussed. The determination in the presence of 0.1M 5-sulphosalicylic acid and 9.5 mg ml-1 KCl is without interference and has high sensitivity.

A new method is described and tested for background correction in atomic absorption spectrometry. Applicable to flame or furnace atomizers, the method is capable of correcting backgrounds caused by molecular absorption, particulate scattering, and atomic-line overlap, even up to an absorbance value of 3. Like the Zeeman approach, the new method applies its correction very near the atomic line of interest, can employ single-beam optics, and requires no auxiliary source. However, no ancillary magnet or other costly peripherals are required and working curves are single-valued. The new technique is based on the broadening which occurs in a hollow-cathode spectral line when the lamp is operated at high currents. Under such conditions, the absorbance measured for a narrow (atomic) line is low, whereas the apparent absorbance caused by a broad-band background contributor remains as high as when the lamp is operated at conventional current levels. Background correction can therefore be effected by taking the difference in absorbances measured with the lamp operated at high and low currents. The new technique is evaluated in its ability to correct several different kinds of background interference and is critically compared with competitive methods.

Abstract In this new method for precise and accurate determination of K, Ca, Mg, and Zn in platelets, small amounts of platelets, prepared by differential centrifugation and cell washing, are decomposed in a homemade mini-vessel, a sealed Teflon bomb. The metal ions in the decomposed sample are measured by atomic absorption spectrometry with discrete nebulization. Overall, CVs ranged from 0.8 to 4.8%. We investigated sex-related differences (none were found) and intra-individual variations.

A method for the measurement of total mercury (T-Hg) in environmental samples using cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV AAS) has been validated yielding a dynamic range (0.04–10.00 μg/kg) and high certified reference material (CRM) recovery (>90%). The validation was carried out according to International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) validation and Eurachem Guides. A freeze-dried and homogenised sample was weighed and then digested using Suprapur acids (HNO3, H2SO4, and HF) with potassium dichromate solution in a hot block digestion system. A calibration curve was constructed (R2 > 0.999). Two CRMs (Marine Sediment Reference Material (PACS-3) and Trace Elements in Muscle Tissue (Trace Elements and Methylmercury in Mussel Tissue (NIST2976)) were utilised for quality assurance and control. The limit of quantification (LOQ) calculated as 0.04 µg/kg, and uncertainty (U) calculated as 2%. The obtained results showed the suitability of this method for direct mercury measurement in environmental samples. Additionally, the proficiency of this method was recognised by accreditation under the standard of International Organization for Standardization (ISO/IEC 17025:2017) for competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
