Development of a laser-excited atomic fluorescence spectrometer and a method for direct determination of Pb in Great Lakes waters / V. Cheam, J. Lechner, I. Sekerka, R. Desrosiers, J. Nriagu and G. Lawson.: En13-5/92-05E-PDF

"A copper vapor laser - pumped dye laser has been used in the development of a Laser-Excited Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (LEAFS) which was optimized to give low ppt sensitivity. Using the spectrometer, a method has been developed for direct analysis of Pb in Great Lakes water samples. This is the first time that direct analyses of such samples have ever been successfully performed"--Abstract.
