Abstract
Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry is applied to differentiate and determine the labile and strongly bound forms of Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu in lake water without preconcentration of the sample. The sensitivities as established for an oxidation peak current of 0·020 μA are: 0·2 ppb for Zn. 0·4 ppb Cd. 0·7 ppb Pb and 0·5 ppb for Cu. For the analysis of a lake water containing 5·0–24·5 ppb of the four metals, the relative S.D. ranged from 1·6 to 10 per cent. Interferences of cations and anions and the choice of a buffer system have been discussed. The method has been applied to study a number of small lakes in the Sudbury area. Ontario.
