Abstract:
A method is described for the analysis of chromium in saliva by atomic absorption spectrometry. Cr was determined by using the Zeeman background correction, and with optimization of all the conditions of the Stabilized Temperature Platform Furnace (STPF). The low detection limit and the ability to analyse very small sample volumes make this technique especially suitable for epidemiological surveys. Also required are certified saline reference samples, representing narrow ranges of trace metals.
