Abstract

The use of laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (laser ICP-MS), in combination with a calibration procedure involving the addition of enriched isotopes, for the determination of trace elements in birch leaves and their ashes is described. Samples are pressed into pellets without binder materials and analyzed using the ICP-MS spectrometer ELAN 5000 with the laser sampler type 320 (Perkin Elmer). The analytical results obtained by two methods are compared with the values obtained after digestion of the same samples and analysis of the resulting solutions by ICP-MS. The results are discussed in terms of precision, accuracy and limits of detections.
