摘要
Methods for the determination of aluminium and manganese in human scalp hair samples by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry using the slurry sampling technique were developed. Palladium and magnesium nitrate were used as chemical modifiers. Hair samples were pulverized using a zirconia vibrational mill ball, and were prepared as aqueous slurries. Determinations can be performed in the linear ranges of 1.9-150 mu g l(-1) Al3+ and 0.03-10.0 mu g l(-1) Mn2+. Limits of detection of 0.9 mg kg(-1) and 27.6 mu g kg(-1) were obtained for aluminium and manganese, respectively. The analytical recoveries were between 99.6 and 101.8% for aluminium and in the 98.3-101.3%, range for manganese. The repeatability of the methods (n = 11), slurry preparation procedure and ETAAS measurement, was 16.0 and 7.9% for aluminium and manganese, respectively. The methods were finally applied to the aluminium and manganese determination in 25 scalp hair samples from healthy adults. The levels for aluminium were between 8.21 and 74.08 mg kg(-1) while concentrations between 0.03 and 1.20 mg kg(-1) were found for manganese. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
