Abstract
A simple and rapid acid digestion method for the decomposition of estuarine sediments is described. Quantitative recovery of Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni, Co, Be and Co is demonstrated. Sensitive, precise and accurate determination of these trace metals by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry in combination with the L'vov Platform provides an interference-free technique that permits calibration with simple aqueous solutions of metal standards. The accuracy of the method has been confirmed by analysis of two marine sediment reference materials, MESS-1 and BCSS-1.
