The problem with toxic metal ion determination in blood is the adsorption of organic compounds on the electrode surface and the formation of complexes between metal ions and organic constituents of blood. This is the reason why usually preliminary acid digestion or other sample pretreatment is used. Two kinds of electrodes have been used: "Ultra-Trace Electrode", made from impregnated graphite (I), and thick film graphite disposable electrodes (II). The analysis of whole blood with different sample preparation methods shows, that chemical digestion is not necessary for the analysis. Electrochemical two-stage sample preparation provides the possibility for analysing whole blood with the mentioned electrodes. Thick film disposable electrodes are less sensitive to the interference of organic constituents of blood. These electrodes give the possibility to determine total cadmium, lead and copper concentration in whole blood without special sample pretreatment. The application of "Ultra-Trace Electrode" for blood analysis is possible only after preliminary pretreatment of blood by chemical digestion or electrochemical sample preparation.

## Abstract This paper describes a comparative study of the simultaneous determination of Cd(II), Pb(II), Tl(I), and Cu(II) in highly saline samples (seawater, hydrothermal fluids, and dialysis concentrates) by ASV using the mercuryโfilm electrode (MFE) and the bismuthโfilm electrode (BiFE) as work
Lead and cadmium have been determined by the subtractive anodic stripping voltammetry using the square-wave mode at a silver electrode without removal of oxygen. The samples containing large amount of thallium were collected from a highly contaminated region. The presence of thallium strongly affect
