A. Itoh et al., DETERMINATION OF TRACE AMOUNT OF LEAD IN NATURAL-WATER BY ISOTOPE-DILUTION - INDUCTIVELY-COUPLED PLASMA-MASS SPECTROMETRY, Analytical sciences, 13, 1997, pp. 7-10
Isotope dilution-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ID-ICP-
MS) was applied to the determination of lead in natural water, and its
precision was compared to that of the conventional calibration method
. Trace amount of lead in natural water was preconcentrated using a ch
elating resin of Chelex 100 before ID-ICP-MS, where the preconcentrati
on factor of 50 was obtained. The concentrations of lead were 26.1 pg/
g and 266 pg/g for the certified river reference materials (JAC 0031)
and the pond water sample, respectively, with the RSD less than 1%.
