Some drawbacks of the phosphate modifier such as reagent blank contribution and background absorption in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cadmium and lead are substantially alleviated by application of small amounts of phosphate, approximately 0.2 mumol (25 mug of NH(4)H(2)PO(4) or (NH(4))(2)HPO(4)), on the integrated platform of transversely heated graphite atomizer pre-treated with 2.7 mumol of Zr (250 mug) or W (500 mug) and 0.1 mumol of Ir (20 mug). Pyrolysis temperatures for Cd and Pb are up to 900 and 1100 degrees C for aqueous solutions and within 400-600 degrees C (Cd) and 750-850 degrees C (Pb) for biological fluids (urine, blood) and tissues (hair, liver, muscle) solubilized with tetraethylammonium hydroxide. The thermally stabilized phosphate on Zr-Ir or W-Ir treated platforms serves as a permanent modifier in analyses of environmental waters by multiple hot injections of large sample aliquots. Applications to water and biological certified reference materials are tabulated and show good agreement with certified values. Characteristic masses are 0.7-1.0 pg for Cd and 26-31 pg for Pb.

A phenylarsenic compounds, which contain arsenic (As), are chemical warfare agents; therefore, they are detected only in specific areas. Phenylarsenic compounds have gained significant research interest owing to their historical background, toxicology, and potential risks to human metabolism. However, research progress in this field has been limited because of the lack of standard materials, which ensure the chemical species and its concentration, required for analysis.

This work presents a straightforward, highly sensitive, and cost-effective method for the simultaneous determination of V, Ti, Ni and Ga by high resolution-continuum source electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer (HR-CS ETAAS) in aqueous environmental samples (tap and seawater samples). The system is based on retention of the analyte onto a novel magnetic nanomaterial (M@GO magnetic graphene oxide) functionalised with methylthiosalicilate (MTS). The formed complexes between the M@GO-MTS and the target analytes were broken, adding 1 mL of nitric acid (6%) and sonication for 5 min.

Dense, hot plasmas are susceptible to the electrothermal instability: a collisional process which permits temperature perturbations in electron currents to grow. It is shown here that linearizing a system comprised of two opposing currents and a mobile ion background as three distinct fluids yields unstable modes with rapid growth rates (∼10^{13}s^{-1}) for wavenumbers below a threshold k_{th}. An analytical threshold condition is derived, this being surpassed for typical hot-spot and shell parameters.

Aluminum is a prevalent element in nature, but bioavailable forms of aluminum are toxic to plants, animals, and humans. The present study is dedicated to the development of an ecologically friendly, fast, simple, reliable, sensitive, and accurate improved procedure for the determination of subtrace concentrations of bioavailable forms of aluminum in natural waters. The procedure includes the separation and pre-concentration of bioavailable forms of aluminum using vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (VALLME) of ionic associates with salicylaldehyde 4-picolinhydrazone (SAPH) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (DDSNa) by isoamylacetate (200 μl) and direct electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy (ET AAS).
