Title New instrument systems in atomic absorption spectroscopy, applied to analysis of toxic elements - Determination of arsenic by the latest sampling methods

Abstract After referring to the inherent difficulties in arsenic determination by atomic absorption, the article describes microwave discharge lamps developed for this technique to replace hollow cathode lamps. The main developments have however been replacement of flame atomisation by apparatus that generates arsine from an air sample containing arsenic or by graphite sampling tubes treated and atomised in the furnace.
