Abstract: | Results of a thorough study and application of flow injection atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of As,
Pb and Hg in parts per million to sub-parts per billion levels in environmental and biological samples have been described.
Various standard reference materials from the National Bureau of Standards, USA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
USA, the Community Bureau of Reference, Brussels, Belgium and the National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan and
Standard Chinese river sediment were used. By flow injection hydride generation AAS the standard reference materials were
analyzed for As and Pb. Mercury was determined by cold vapour flow injection AAS from environmental and biological standard
reference materials. The technique is fast, simple and highly sensitive. It takes only 30 s for each analysis from the digested
solution. The detection limits of As, Pb and Hg are 1.8 μg L–1 and 2.0 μg L–1 and 1.5 μg L–1, respectively. The results show good agreement with the certified values.
