The results for the reference material of soil (serial number GBW-07411) agreed satisfactorily with the certified values. Results obtained by the developed procedure compared well with those after traditional acid digestion of samples. The detection limit are 6.7ngL-1 for Hg respectively, with average relative standard deviation values of 6.4% for analysis of a series of soil samples of different origin. The recoveries of the anatytes varied in the range from 95 to 107%. This observation has stimulated interest in fast, accurate and sensitive analytical methods for determination of metals in soil.展开更多

[Method] By flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), the contents of various trace elements in potatoes were determined. [Result] Potatoes contain abundant trace elements such as Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ca, K and Mg. To be specific, the contents of Ca, K and Mg were relatively high. [Conclusion] By using FAAS, the relative standard deviation was 1.17%-2.75% and the recovery rate was 97%-99.5%, indicating accurate and reli-able results with high precision.展开更多

Pollutants due to the presence of toxic metals in environment not only enter the body by breading, water, and foodstuff accumulates in hair, but they could be adsorbed directly on the hair from environment. In order to remove adsorbed elements and thus determine the internally bound elements correctly, hair sample must be washed. In the present work, we propose uncertainty estimation for the analytical results that are obtained from determination of cadmium, lead, copper, iron, manganese and nickel in human hair by flame and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS and ETAAS). To estimate the uncertainty of analytical result obtained, two types of bias are calculated in the assessment of trueness: a proportional bias and a constant bias. Nested design was applied for calculating proportional bias and Youden method to calculate the constant bias. The results we obtained for proportional bias are calculated from spiked samples. In this case, the concentration found is plotted against the concentration added and the slop of standard addition curve is an estimate of the method recovery. Estimated method of average recovery in human hair is: (1.019 ±0.026), (0.918 ±0.014), (1.073±0.016), (1.0597± 0.017), (1.073± 0.020) and (0.934± 0.117) for Cd, Pb, Mn, Ni, Fe and Cu respectively.展开更多

Results showed that perhydrol affects the intensities of elements (Ni, Ca, Mg, Cu, Pb) and this effect can be compensated by internal reference element. It is also showed that the stability of plasma caused by perhydrol matrix was effectively improved. The replicate experiment and recovery experiment revealed perfect precision and accuracy. Results got by two methods were just the same.展开更多
