An analytical technique using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry has been developed to estimate the concentration of uranium in a variety of environmental samples. The lower limit for quantitation is 0.1 ng/mL. Calibration is linear from the low limit to 1000 ng/mL. Precision, accuracy, and a quality control protocol have been established. A comparison with the conventional fluorometric method has been performed.
