“…Pretreatment may be associated with the colorimetric determination of lead using PAR. Some sorbents such as AV-17 [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], polyurethane foam (PUF) [ 20 ], Amberlite XAD-1180 [ 21 ], Amberlite XAD-7 [ 22 ], modified silica [ 23 ], imprinted polymer nanoparticles [ 24 ], modified nano-alumina [ 6 ], nanomagnetic materials [ 3 , 5 ], TrisKem Pb resin [ 25 ], NOBIAS chelate PA-1 [ 26 ], Amberlite IR-120 [ 27 ], PB-resin [ 28 ], and nonwoven polypropylene [ 29 ] have been employed. Some of those were used to sorb lead with elution, for the next step of forming color with PAR for a colorimetric assay [ 22 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”
