Simultaneous determination of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn as total and labile fractions in soil using a small-sized electrothermal vaporization capacitively coupled plasma microtorch optical emission spectrometer after diffusive gradients in thin-film passive accumulation

Abstract

A sensitive and free interference method for the determination of total and labile fractions of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in soil after DGT passive accumulation and detection by optical emission spectrometry with an Ar microplasma was validated.
