Cloud point extraction for the determination of cadmium and lead employing sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry

A cloud point extraction procedure for pre-concentration and determination of cadmium and lead in drinking water using sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry is described. 4-(2-thiazolylazo)-orcinol (TAO) has been used as complexing agent and the micellar phase was obtained using the non-ionic surfactant octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol (Triton X-114) and centrifugation. The conditions for reaction and extraction (surfactant concentration, reagent concentration, effect of incubation time, etc) were studied and the analytical characteristics of the method were determined. The method allows the determination of cadmium and lead with quantification limits of 0.30?µg?L^?1 and 2.6?µg?L^?1, respectively. A precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD, n?=?10) of 2.3% and 2.6% has been obtained for cadmium concentrations of 10?µg?L^?1 and 30?µg?L^?1, respectively, and RSD of 1.3% and 1.7% for lead concentrations of 10?µg?L^?1 and 30?µg?L^?1, respectively. The accuracy was confirmed by analysis of a natural water certified reference material. The method has been applied for the determination of cadmium and lead in drinking water samples collected in the cities of Ilhéus and Itabuna, Brazil. Recovery tests have also been performed for some samples, and results varied from 96 to 105% for cadmium and 97 to 106% for lead. The cadmium and lead concentrations found in these samples were always lower than the permissible maximum levels stipulated by World Health Organization and the Brazilian Government.     

Determination of cadmium and lead at μg/1 levels in aqueous matrices by chelation ion chromatography

A method for the simultaneous determination of μg/1 or sub-μg/1 levels of cadmium and lead in sea water by chelation ion chromatography is demonstrated. The method consists in the preconcentration of a sea-water sample containing cadmium and lead on an iminodiacetate chelating resin; alkali and alkaline earth metals are removed from the resin with an ammonium acetate buffer, the metals are eluted and separated by cation-exchange chromatography, followed by postcolumn derivatization with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol and spectrophotometric detection at 520 nm. The concentration and separation steps are automated. The detection limit, when concentrating 200 ml of sea water, was found to be 2 ng for cadmium and 6 ng for lead. Relative standard deviations of 4.5% and 6.8% for 10 μg/1 of cadmium and lead, respectively, were obtained. Transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn) do not interfere in the analysis. An application of the method to the determination of cadmium and lead in sea-water samples collected in the Taranto gulf (Italy) is presented.     

Contents and localization of heavy metals in human placentae

The placenta was used as an exposure index for the risk evaluation of prenatal fetal chemical exposure. Full-term placenta samples collected at maternity hospitals in 4 regions of different environmental pollutants and traffic density were examined for lead and cadmium contents using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The results showed similar lead contents in placental samples from all selected regions, except for a small town with a lower traffic density. The findings may implicate traffic-related environmental lead pollution, rather than industrial sources. The highest concentration of cadmium was shown to be in the samples collected from the region with the highest proportion of smoking mothers (including passive smoking). Simultaneously, the placental samples were processed histochemically to determine the location of lead in the placental tissue (using light microscopy). The degree of placental metal contamination was done semiquantitatively, and the difference between the rural and industrial region was statistically compared. Parallel quantitative AAS analyses and semiquantitative histochemical lead analyses of human placental samples revealed analogous results regarding the level of placental contamination with metals.     

Determination of cadmium and lead in table salt by sequential multi-element flame atomic absorption spectrometry

In the present paper, a simultaneous pre-concentration procedure for the sequential determination of cadmium and lead in table salt samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry is proposed. This method is based on the liquid-liquid extraction of cadmium(II) and lead(II) ions as dithizone complexes and direct aspiration of the organic phase for the spectrometer. The sequential determination of cadmium and lead is possible using a computer program. The optimization step was performed by a two-level fractional factorial design involving the variables: pH, dithizone mass, shaking time after addition of dithizone and shaking time after addition of solvent. In the studied levels these variables are not significant. The experimental conditions established propose a sample volume of 250 mL and the extraction process using 4.0 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone. This way, the procedure allows determination of cadmium and lead in table salt samples with a pre-concentration factor higher than 80, and detection limits of 0.3 ng g⁻¹ for cadmium and 4.2 ng g⁻¹ for lead. The precision expressed as relative standard deviation (n = 10) were 5.6 and 2.6% for cadmium concentration of 2 and 20 ng g⁻¹, respectively, and of 3.2 and 1.1% for lead concentration of 20 and 200 ng g⁻¹, respectively. Recoveries of cadmium and lead in several samples, measured by standard addition technique, proved also that this procedure is not affected by the matrix and can be applied satisfactorily for the determination of cadmium and lead in saline samples. The method was applied for the evaluation of the concentration of cadmium and lead in table salt samples consumed in Salvador City, Bahia, Brazil.     

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cadmium in bangladeshi vegetables with a metal tube atomizer and slurry sampling technique

Ultrasonic slurry sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with a molybdenum tube atomizer has been applied for the determination of cadmium in vegetable samples in Bangladesh. The suspension-stabilizing medium was 10% glycerol solution. The optimum pyrolysis temperature was 300°C. The detection limit was 13?fg (3S/N). Matrix element interference was studied and it was found that thiourea as a chemical modifier eliminated the interference. The results for the determination of cadmium in vegetable samples by the proposed method were in good agreement with those measured in dissolved acid-digested samples. The method enables rapid calibration, and simple and rapid analysis of cadmium in vegetable samples at low cost.
