Abstract:
Various potable water and soil samples have been analyzed for tri- and dialkyllead compounds using a sensitive speciation procedure based on diethyldithiocarbamate extraction, Grignard derivatization and gas chromatography-atomic absorption spectrometry. The species are generally present as ultra-trace contaminants, and their abundance is critically discussed. In addition, a degradation study of ionic alkyllead in ambient matrices is presented.
