Rapid flameless atomic absorption analysis of the metallic content of sewage sludges. I. Lead, cadmium and copper. 1977

J N Lester, and R M Harrison, and R Perry

The application of flameless atomic absorption analysis to the determination of cadmium, copper, and lead in sewage sludges is described. The technique is sensitive and very rapid, since the normal lengthy sample pre-treatment has been virtually eliminated. The method can be potentially extended to a large range of metals in all types of sludges.
