Abstract

Abstract A method for the determination of lead in fish by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and polarography is described. The samples were dry-ashed at 500°C and dissolved in IN HC1; lead was determined by either method. Good agreement between atomic absorption spectrophotometry and polarography was obtained at levels of 1.0 to 10.0 ppm. Over this range the recoveries averaged 96.1% for polarography and 93.8% for atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Twelve species of fresh and salt water fish were analyzed.
