A procedure suitable for routine analysis of arsenic in orange juice using instrumentation available in most control laboratories was developed. Organic matter is destroyed by the dry ashing technique, the ash is dissolved in \(\mathrm{HCl}\), and hydrides of arsenic are generated by the addition of

โฆ Synopsis
A method is described for the determination of arsenic involving hydride generation and atomic absorption spectrometry with an improved long graphite-tube furnace capable of considerably higher temperatures than the conventional quartz-tube heaters. Arsine is generated with sodium tetrahydroborate, held in a nitrogen-cooled trap and then swept with helium into an alumina tube (19 cm long) placed within the graphite furnace. The optimum conditions for determination of arsenic are given. The detection limit is 0.2 ng ml-' with RSD of 2-3%. Results for various NBS Standard Reference Materials agreed well with expected values and were as follows: orchard leaves, 10 + 1 rg g-l; tomato leaves, 0.28 * 0.03 rg g"; bovine liver, 0.046 * 0.006 rg g-l.
