A simple direct procedure for the determination of chromium in whole blood and urine by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry is described. Whole blood samples are diluted with 0.1% Triton-X solution before injection, whereas urine samples are injected directly. Calibration is done by dire

β¦ Synopsis
Urinary chromium levels for healthy and diabetic men were determined by direct graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The average values were 0.72 + 0.31 ng ml-' for 23 healthy men aged 23 to 35, 0.39 5 0.19 ng ml-' for 19 healthy men aged 47 to 69, and 1.0 f 0.9 ng ml-' for 23 diabetic patients aged 13 to 79. Some urines of diabetic patients exhibit values > 1.3 ng ml-', which are never found in healthy men. The proposed method involves direct injection of 20 ~1 of urine into a pyrolytically-coated graphite tube, and a standard addition calibration procedure involving a pooled urine sample. The results are compared with those obtained by a liquid-liquid extraction method.

Atomization characteristics of chromium have been studied by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with a molybdenum tube atomizer. The appearance temperature (T app ) of chromium nitrate was 1300ΠC. The T app was independent of the heating rate of atomizer, but the temperature at the peak o
The analytical performance of an unenclosed tungsten coil atomizer operating in Ar-H, (9O:lO) was assessed by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) for the determination of pg to ng levels of Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni and Pb in liquid samples. A three-steps low power unit provided the heati
Performance of graphite platforms coated with Ir, Rh, and a mixture of both, as permanent modifiers for Ag, As, Bi, Cd, and Sb, was evaluated. The coating process is very simple: a solution containing Ir, Rh, or a mixture of both is pipetted on the platform inserted in a graphite tube, and this is s
A systematic study of the use in "batch equilibration" of pretreated solid Chelex-100 and Lewatit TP 207 (H + form) for the preconcentration of Cr(III), Cu(II) and Mn(II) dissolved in sea water is presented. The preparation of the resin and the suggested procedure are useful because sea water can be
To determine the lead and cadmium content of soils and sediments, the samples are suspended in water containing 5% (v/v) concentrated hydrofluoric acid before injected into the electrothermal atomizer. For thallium determination a 30% hydrofluoric acid solution is used as the suspension medium. In a
