Abstract
A procedure is described for the analysis of container glass using a spark source mass spectrometer fitted with electrical detection. The analyses show that small glass fragments can be classified as either window glass or container glass by an examination and comparison of the elemental composition. The most important elements for this purpose are iron, magnesium and arsenic with in addition, manganese, zirconium and rubidium. The elemental composition of container glass is shown to be reasonably constant over a period of several months. Also the elemental composition within a container is shown to be constant.
