| Abstract |
The efficiency of a silver nitrate-impregnated 37mm back-up pad (Ag-pad) in collecting hydrides of arsenic, antimony and tin has been studied. Detailed analytical methods using graphite furnace-AAS for the quantitative determination of the elements have been developed and the accuracy and precision of the methods have been determined. A field study in a lead acid battery manufacturing plant has been performed using a 37mm 0.8µm cellulose acetate filter combined with an Ag-pad to collect and differentiate between hydrides and particulate compounds of arsenic and antimony in the air. |
