Abstract

Abstract A method for the direct determination of Cd in soil extracts by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrosopy (GFAAS) has been developed. Optimum operating conditions, analyte modifiers and matrix interferences have been investigated. Characteristic amounts are 0.34pg for siliceous samples and 0.45 pg for calcareous soils. The precision has been based on ten replicate readings in standards, and was 1.6%. Cd has been determined by the proposed methods and the results have been compared with those obtained by ICP technique.
