Abstract
A combination of 6 μg palladium and 15 μg magnesium nitrate is proposed as chemical modifier for lead determinations in biological materials and foodstuffs. The applicability of this modifier was investigated by the analysis of several types of samples, as compared to the classical NH4H2PO4 and Mg(NO3)2 modifier. Direct determinations of lead against aqueous standard solutions can be performed in 3-fold diluted urine, 2-fold diluted milk and 6-fold diluted blood, when the proposed modifier is added. A method for lead determinations in potatoes using the combined palladium and magnesium nitrate modifier, after a microwave acid digestion, is described. The optimum GFAAS pyrolysis temperature remains dependent on the matrix and should be determined for each type of sample. A wider linear range of the calibration curve is observed when the proposed Pd modifier is used.
