Determination of total lead in gasoline within the concentration range of 0.010 to 0.10 g of lead/U.S. gal (2.5 to 25 mg/l) by atomic absorption spectrometry at 2833 A is described. The sample to be analyzed is diluted with methyl isobutyl ketone, and the alkyl lead compounds are stabilized by reaction with iodine and a quaternary ammonium salt. The lead in the sample is determined from a comparison of the value measured at 2833 A for the sample and that value measured for reagent grade lead chloride standards. The determination is independent of lead alkyl type compounds.
