Zusammenfassung
Eine vorteilhafte elektroanalytische Methode zur Bestimmung von Pb, Cd, Cu und Zn in menschlichem Blut und in Zähnen wird beschrieben. Das Verfahren beruht auf der Differentialpuls-Anodic Stripping Voltammetrie an der statischen Quecksilbertropfelektrode. Mit Hilfe von Ammoniumacetat und verdünnter Salpetersäure (pH 2) als Trägerelektrolyten wurden die optimalen Bedingungen ausgearbeitet. Störungen durch andere Metalle wurden nicht beobachtet. Die Standardabweichung betrug ±4%. Infolge der niedrigen Blindwerte und der hohen Empfindlichkeit konnten Bestimmungen im Sub-ppb-Bereich mit Elektrolysezeiten von 1–3 min durchgeführt werden. Die Genauigkeit der Methode wurde durch Vergleich mit massenspektrometrischen und AAS-Untersuchungen bewiesen. Die Ergebnisse werden kurz diskutiert.
Summary
A convenient electroanalytical technique for the simultaneous determination of lead, cadmium, copper and zinc in human blood and teeth is described. The method is based on differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry at the static mercury drop electrode (SMDE). Optimum conditions for the anodic stripping of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn were determined using ammonium acetate and dilute nitric acid (pH 2) as electrolytes. Interferences from other metals were not observed and the estimations were reproducible within a standard deviation of±4%. Low blank values and high sensitivity of the method allowed the determinations at sub-ppb levels with an electrolysis time of 1–3 min. The accuracy of the method has been tested by comparison with the results obtained by mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry. The results and findings are discussed in brief.
