“…A number of different criteria could he used in judging the potential of the hydride generation technique as an analytical method, but perhaps one of the most fundamental considerations is whether or not the technique is viable for analysis of complex samples. Studies involving grain (39), air particulates (40), tobacco samples (41), raw sewage (15, 42), steel alloys (19,43), animal feed mixes (44), a variety of foods (16), biological samples (35,36), and geochemical samples (30) have been published. The variety and number of samples indicate that future studies involving hydride generation could be readily applied to complex sample analysis.…”
