Comparison of different methods for the digestion and analysis of trace elements in vegetation / Jose M. Azcue and Alena Mudroch.: En13-5/93-31E-PDF

"Quantitative determination of the concentrations of trace elements in vegetation is important in studies dealing with environmental impact, nutrition effects and geochemical exploration. However, the great diversity of sample preparation and analytical methods used in the determination of trace elements in different plant material makes the inter-comparison of results reported in scientific literature difficult. The objective of this investigation was to compare the effects of different sample preparation, particularly cleaning, drying and digestion, used prior to the determination of the concentrations of ten trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in plant material"--Abstract.
