Abstract
A unique impaction graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric sy stem was used to investigate the concentration of lead in smoke from b urning crude oil. The lead concentration in 3 mi of crude oil decrease d sharply in the inital burning stages, which was attributed to the re lease of the more volatile lead compounds, and then steadily decreased over the length of the bum. Lead signals from the smoke of the burned oil confirmed that the lead was being released into the smoke and ult imately into the atmosphere. (C) 1997 academic Press.
