Research output: Contribution to conferencePosterpeer-review

Abstract

A simple procedure is described whereby 5–20 mg of a powdered soil are mixed with 25 ml of water and, while stirring, 20-µl aliquots of the slurry are pipetted into a graphite furnace electrothermal atomiser. Calibration with aqueous standards gives the total lead concentration of the soil. This is much simpler than the complex hydrofluoric acid digestion procedures normally required to obtain complete recoveries from soil.
