Abstract

A method for simultaneous determination of lead and thallium by photon activation analysis with radiochemical separation using irradiation with bremsstrahlung produced by a 20 MeV microtron is described. The detection limits for 500-mg samples of 0.9 μg·g-1 and 0.15 μg·g-1 for lead and thallium, respectively, were achieved that are sufficiently low for the reliable determination of both elements at levels commonly occurring in environmental samples and at elevated levels in biological materials. The accuracy of the procedure developed was proved by analyses of a number of environmental and biological reference materials. Possibilities of detection limit improvements are also discussed.
