[Determination of Pb and Al in blood and hair of child using transverse heated graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy]

Abstract

Pb and Al in blood and hair of child were determined by transverse heated graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry with NH4H2PO4 and Mg(NO3)2 as a modifier, which enhanced the temperature of ashing, eliminated the matrix interference and memorial effect. The method is rapid, simple and accurate. The characteristic mass of the method was 2.3 x 10(-11) g and 2.2 x 10(-11) g for Pb and Al respectively. The relative standard deviation of Pb and Al was 3.0% and 11.4%, respectively, and the recovery was 96%-102%.
