Abstract
The utilization of an alternating current plasma as an atomization sou rce for atomic absorption spectrometry is described. The analytical pe rformance of this technique has been characterized for the determinati on of 11 elements. The detection limits (3sigma) were found to be comp arable to those determined with existing plasma sources. The accuracy of the method has also been assessed by comparison with flame and grap hite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric methods.
