Abstract
A graphite furnace continuum source atomic absorption spectrometric me thod is described for the determination of Cd in urine at the sub-ppb level. Sample preparation includes a simple 1:1 dilution with nitric a cid followed by digestion in a water bath at 60-degrees-C for one hour in a sealed plastic vial. The method detection limit observed for Cd is 0.03 ng/mL. Three hundred urine samples collected from post-menopau sal women in the Winston-Salem area have been analyzed.
