| Abstract: | Abstract A simple and reliable procedure simultaneously to determine seven trace and/or ultratrace toxic metals in a single sample of environmental plants has been presented. The procedure is based on the simultaneous determination of Cu, Pb and Cd by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry, of Zn and Mn by differential pulse voltammetry and of Ni and Co by differential pulse adsorption voltammetry at the hanging mercury drop electrode. The details of sampling, washing and drying of samples and the approach of digestion and preparation of samples for voltammetric determination have been investigated. The method has been applied to determination of the seven metals in grass and hucerne from different environments. |
