Abstract
The National Biomonitoring Specimen Bank at the National Institute of Standards an Technology applies a variety of techniques for extensive characterization of banked samples. To determine a large number of tra ce elements in small samples at low levels, instrumental neutron activ ation analysis has been combined with voltammetry. The two methods pro duce high quality data for thirty pollutant and biological trace eleme nts. Results on archived specimens of human livers and intercomparison s of the two methods are reported.
