Study of methods for the determination of lead and cadmium

Journal Article · · Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)

Laboratory comparisons of precision and accuracy of some widely used methods for the determination of lead in blood and for lead and cadmium on filters are described. With the exception of the tantalum boat atomic absorption technique, the methods studied were found to be rugged for a variety of minor procedural changes. Recovery of cadmium from spiked filters was quantitative over a wide range of dilutions and for a variety of instrumental readout and calculation combinations.
