Screening Technique for Lead and Cadmium in Toys and Other Materials Using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Brouwer, Henry
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n4 p611 Apr 2005
A simple procedure to quickly screen different consumer products for the presence of lead, cadmium, and other metals is described. This screening technique avoids expending a lot of preparation time on samples known to contain low levels of hazardous metals where only samples testing positive for the desired elements need to be analyzed quantitatively using standard sample preparation methods.
